This classic story is a starting point for discussions about childhood, growth, loss, isolation, bullying, friendship, self-esteem, creativity, and acceptance of oneself and others. Victor Frankenstein is a weird and lonely young man who, almost accidentally, creates someone to keep him company. However, the Creature doesn't come out exactly as he intended – after all, almost nothing comes out quite as we want it. Victor needs to learn that Little Frank has its own will and is quite different from what he initially imagined. But this is not something bad – on the contrary, it might be beautiful and fun! The two have great adventures together as they transform themselves and accept their differences.

The story is told through narration, theatre, dance, visual arts, and an original soundtrack. By creating a dialogue between science, biology, literature, and physics, the play instigates the young audience’s imagination and creativity. In this adaptation, we pose fundamental questions about the acceptance of others and oneself, and various ways of being and belonging. The so-called ‘monster’ builds its identity from fragments, which are reflected not only in its body but in its language too.
