The story
Inside his enormous mechanical cabinet, the Seeker imagines an unseen world brimming with dreams and ideas. One day, a troupe of peculiar and otherworldly characters bursts in, flipping his reality upside down through humor, poetry, and astonishing acrobatics. Each invention comes alive, blurring the boundaries between the real and the imagined. Set in a timeless, alternate past, the story invites audiences to venture beyond what’s familiar and embrace the extraordinary. The question remains: Will the Seeker open himself to this new world, or retreat to what he knows?
