The show begins when something happens. Something out of the ordinary. Something that usually doesn't happen. A mystery to be solved. That needs to be investigated. Follow the clues and see where they lead. Inspired by police mysteries, children's stories and reports of people, the play invites the public to an investigation. To stop, look at the world around us and ask "what would it be like if I felt that all this is not normal?" Seeing the world in a different way.
In the plot, two stories, as if they were two episodes of a TV series. A radio announcer (who gives traffic news) decides to give the information all wrong, causing a chaos in the city and the next day doesn't appear to work. Parallel to this, a secret department that has the purpose of causing distractions in the world, to give a colorful, a daily poetry to people's lives, causing them to look at things other than their own problems. From this synopsis, Brazilian, Portuguese and English creative artists produced this unprecedented spectacle.
