The fluttering of its wings looks as if a paintbrush were painting on the air; but it also looks like a dance. This delightful dance sometimes lasts but a day. It all happens between dawn and sunset. And now look: there is a landscape, in it there are an egg, a larva, a caterpillar, a butterfly, a swarm of butterflies. They are beautiful, colourful, they flitter in the wind, they whirr in your ear. They are ballerinas painting on air with their great wings. Onstage there is a butterfly house made of gauze and colorful images projected onto a white carpet and two big wings enwrapping all the space. Two dancers move, play, paint in the air; they are light and invite the audience to discover a fashinating process, the slow metamorphosis which transforms a chrysalis into a butterfly.
