On a stage a young man appears from behind a set of red curtains and begins to read a poem. The curtains open and actors begins to perform scenes from the poem which is still being read.
The production continues with a mixture of poetry and theatre, sometime taking place in the audience. The cast are made up of both able-bodied and disabled performers. One extended sequence is performed in the dark with actors simply making baby-like noises.
The production comes to an end and the audience claps as the cast bow. A young man, the director, comes onto the stage and address the audience before presenting bouquets to some of female cast and crew. An older man approaches the stage to thank them for the evening's entertainment.
