The Performance
A story that derives from the world of toys, talking about the strength and the courage to change our life, transforming it the way we want and deserve.
Lead soldier enters as a gift, a children room, full of toys. Among them the little dancer with her tower, which is dominated by the mean Fasoulis. The soldier charmed by the dancer, is led to the fire through an adventure against the will of Fasoulis. When the soldier wakes up, realizes that the whole adventure was just a dream, so intense that makes him long for its meaning. By the time he comprehends it, he decides to take control of his own life and fight for his own will. Thus, he manages to weaken Fasoulis and finally end up again together with his beloved dancer.
