Behind a white screen, featuring colourful characters, there is a Japanese emperor who loves the song of his songbird and, for that reason, will not let it go. In this Shadow Theatre performance, we tell a story of friendship and freedom, set between someone who has everything, a little girl who has just one thing, and a Tsuru who longs to be free.

At the end of the story, we go in search of this bird in the museum and discover its significance in Japan. And to make the adventure unforgettable, we make little music boxes decorated by each child, which play like a Tsuru – free and happy!
