Storia di un bambino e di un pinguino
One day a child finds a penguin in front of his door. The penguin looks very, very sad.
It probably got lost, and the child tries to understand where it comes from and what he wants: "why is this penguin so sad?".
The child decides to find a way to bring it home: so he builds a boat to face the long journey to the South Pole because, as everyone knows, penguins live in the South Pole. But what if the penguin didn’t actually want to return home?

A funny story about unknown worlds that meet, about the difficulty to communicate and
understand those who are different from us; about an ocean to sail in order to make love and friendship blossom inside us. What makes a dialogue? Are words really that important? On stage the two protagonists communicate through a non-verbal language, relating to each other through objects and situations. Through gestures that fail to be recognized, little surreal gags, constant misunderstandings - some of which huge, others seemingly insignificant -, adventures and storms, the trip will reach its end as our protagonists have grown a bit together.
