Speaking without words; ceaseless talking with hands, arms, legs, toes and eyebrows; moving to music. Suddenly all stops when a special sound is heard. Having something important to say without raising your voice is to understand that you certainly have to look and listen hard. Mime-play for actors, video pictures on a screen, classical music and different sounds come together in one single tale.

There he is, the old man, they call The Nutcracker. Does he live in the wood? Does he work there? Or is he only passing through gathering nuts? It is Autumn. The wood and it's inhabitants are worried. The Nutcracker is keeping all the nuts for himself.... Until something important happens to him. Nature saves him. Winter comes,then Spring and Summer. A new Autumn dawns. The Nutcracker has changed. He has decided not to be selfish any longer. He gives his hoard of nuts back to the wood.
