We constantly face situations that demand solutions. Sometimes they resemble riddles – we look for missing pieces or try to find the right path. But at times, the same problems and circumstances repeat themselves endlessly, and we feel trapped, as if wandering through an inescapable labyrinth.
Through reason or intuition, we strive to untangle the knot. And more often than not, the simplest way turns out to be the right one.
“Nil” is a metaphorical performance about a person’s encounter with themselves. It is a journey through challenges, searching for solutions, showing how to overcome worries and doubts while holding on to hope and faith.
In the performance, the puppet and the puppeteer work together to solve a riddle. Their relationship is so unique that at times it becomes impossible to distinguish who is who. The show unfolds through delicate details, gestures, and subtle signs, becoming a poetic and musical way of conveying emotions.
The performance is without words.
