"Beautiful botanical images and captivating rainforest sounds emerge from every direction, the evolution from caterpillar to butterfly has bever been so brilliantly staged" Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio

	Watch a butterfly move. The fluttering of its wings looks as if a paintbrush were painting on the air; but it also looks like a dance. This delightful dance sometimes lasts but a day. It all happens between dawn and sunset. And now look: there is a landscape, in it there are an egg, a larva, a caterpillar, a butterfly, a swarm of butterflies. They are beautiful, colourful, they flitter in the wind, they whirr in your ear. They are ballerinas painting on air with their great wings. Onstage there is a butterfly house made of gauze and colorful images projected onto a white carpet and two big wings enwrapping all the space. Two dancers move, play, paint in the air; they are light and invite the audience to discover a fashinating process, the slow metamorphosis which transforms a chrysalis into a butterfly.

	In the show children are in an immersive space, interact with images and sounds and thanks to the use of hidden sensors, they can dance, paint, or simply be taken by the poetry of this surprising scenery.
