“At the end of the world, in an evergreen forest, there lived the most beautiful bird in the world – the Rain Bird.
People came and settled in the forest; they sang and danced in honor of the bird, but then…”
What happens when a little village has become a big city?
What happens when the song and the story of the bird have been forgotten?
And what happens when a little child believes that there is still a place for the Rain Bird in this world…
In a unique theatrical language, which combines the art of Origami together with the art of Story-Telling, the artist instills life into the paper; the folded heroes partake in a dramatic plot, full of magic and surprises.
