The Way Back
The Double Theatre
Puppetry / Petit Plateau

"The Way Back" tells the story of a right hand, separated from its body during a war, embarking on a journey to find its lost parts. Once belonging to a boy who loved playing the guitar, the hand meets the left hand, and together they search for the rest of their body in a war-torn city. Along the way, they encounter a confused soldier, and through cooperation, they reattach themselves to their body. Although imperfectly reunited, the hands play the guitar, bringing a moment of peace amidst the chaos. The story explores themes of self-discovery, the devastation of war, and the healing power of music
