The performance is a one-man show about life and death. The actor performs with his own puppet. Their friendship helps them win over Death, who rules everything on this Earth. Performance style: "Street morality"

The play aims to recall the atmosphere of traditional street or market puppetry, but in a freer, more modern way. The play is without words, the actor uses tongue whistle. The story is easily understood with the help of pictures, music and acting.

Important element of the play is the Giant-Puppet-Death, "who" is also the stage, in which the whole story is played.
