The narrative of a child who discovers, as in a dream, the magic of music and is initiated in its fascinating world by some fantastic characters, as are the Beetles. Iosif Herţea proposes a musical score, both original and provocative, played with instruments of all sorts, some even unconventional or exotic. The actors experiment and discover various sounds, from which they interweave a musical story performed in dance steps, under the coordination of director Cornel Todea and of the choreographer Păstorel Ionescu.
