Turning all that he touched to Gold. Starved of food and love his riches were no longer those of a wealthy man.
Opera and projects, shadows and music. The accordion and the flyboy opera. Burlington Gardens turns into the House of Fairy Tales festival
The house of lights given over to the trickery of the small electronics. constructions and thoughts of tales and stories, puppets and manikins. The Waiting Room of Death
The house of mirrors, the moving floor in the House of Fun, the walls coming closer. Looking for the treasure through the secret door. The eyes tricked by the game. We searched and searched but the labyrinth continued. The genie stayed in the lamp.
cutting off hands, painting eyes, torturing the wolf, red riding hood as lolita

text pieces with tragic endings, happy endings, comical endings and bad beginnings, humourous intrigue and most of all adventures
the circus of fairy tales. Canvas, painted mannikins, carnivalesque and macabre, play if you dare
