The performance, which develops the child’s visual, auditory, and tactile senses, explains the
world as full of creativity, constant change, and movement, following the cycles of nature, and
human beings as a part of nature, which contains the whole Universe.
The performance is inspired by one of the oldest myths about the creation of the world. A
giant duck perched on the water on the moon. After laying an egg, it was about to hatch. But
when it got the urge to peck, it flew off in search of food. Meanwhile, the rain came and wetted
the nest, making a hole in it, through which the egg fell out. It bounced into a cloud and broke
into three pieces. From the yolk came the earth, from the white – the waters and from the shell
the sky and stars.
