Can a statue and a girl become forever friends and travel the world together?
The director Kostas Silvestros and the choreographer Panagiotis Tofi are seduced by the story invented by the lyricist Stavros Stavrou and with their vehicle the original music of the leading Greek pianist and composer Thodoris Economou create a feast of musicians, images, and colours.
A girl in a boat embarks on her journey into the unknown, trying to escape the horror of war. He finds refuge in an unknown country and rests on a bench, under a soldier statue. Very soon a crazy revelation overturns everything: it is a statue that is alive! Can a statue and a girl become forever friends and travel the world together? Can the girl learn to the statue what it's like to truly live and convince her to leave the sword she holds forever?
A hymn play to peace, friendship, acceptance of diversity, and the power of true love!
