Director’s note

The actors enter in a scenic space covered with original Kilim carpets of Central Asia. They recite in the way of the ancient storytellers; their actions are accompanied by songs and dances. They tell a story that is apparently simple and easy to follow, but steeped in allegories expressed in a scenic language that addresses, at the same time, the body, the mind and the sentiment of the audience.
