"Summer rain"
"In the residency we will explore the phenomenology of human relationship. Our needs to be heard, touched and communicate with each other. Through endless attempts, we eventually confront with our loneliness that exists in our mind and consciousness.
Through working with objects, puppets, texts and movement we will seek to create short stories and narratives that reveal a truth of human existence.
The stories show the essential humanity of the characters and relate to the issues of life, existence and the quest for happiness.
The research will attempt to demonstrate the day to day activities of the characters together with their fantasies and dreams through which reflect their greatest fears and desires."
