Two characters meet, each has their own language of speaking, of moving. They try to connect and communicate – through dance, through play!
Each uses a large wood block to create their own world, unbeknownst to the other, until they discover one another and one tries to get the attention and make friends with the other, and the other ignores him. This motivates the first person to be persistent and continue to try and challenge the other to be friends. The blocks are wonderful and contain stuff for the imagination. The physicality of the two performers and their whimsy is wonderful. The young children are totally engaged.
