Performance story

Time has come to a standstill in the dusty corner of the room, where memories turn into shadows. Once, the most playful of toys had been someone’s whole world, listening to secrets whispered before bedtime, under a fluffy blanket. As time passed, the doll was forgotten, still waiting for an invitation to play. The doll decides not to remain stuck in the past and to move on. With a precise movement, she unties the imaginary strings that once bound her to the child. And as the strings fall away, the doll is no longer sad or forgotten; she becomes free and creates her own story among the other toys. This is yet another story about a toy forgotten in favor of technology.
