:About the performance

How we can turn an invisible thing into a visible thing? Can we perform the magic and metaphysics in the form of a dramatic event, in a way that not only he is the audience, but also he becomes the partner in these events? And when he goes into the theatre, it’s as if he’s entered in the Alice’s land of wonders. There’s no described time and place for him and he can independently gain the experience of inspector in the stage. So there’s no any especial seat for the audience. All the events of the play are placed in different positions on the stage and the audience can freely walk on the stage and find the best angel to watch all the scenes of the play. This performance was an experience to gain the common experience with the audience.
