Nightmare musical full of overwhelming visual and musical spectacle - with contributions by Terry Gilliam and Tom Waits - is at the same time the most fairy-like production by audio-visual artist Rosto.
An elusive monster disrupts the peaceful life in the village of Nix. Ten-year-old Willy starts a search for his grandma, whom the monster has probably abducted to the woods. Via the frightened forester and the giant swallow Virgil (the voice of Tom Waits) who wants an egg, he arrives at the Langemanne. Only children can see these forest spirits. They preserve the stories that everyone knows inside eggs.
This ‘musical’, unusually fairy-like for Rosto, is a visual and musical spectacle about the power of storytelling.
