When a little one a bit too different from the others arrives in your life it creates… a monstrous mess. Everything shifts.

Our actress-puppeteer welcomes the audience into her puppet-making laboratory, where all of the puppets are perfect, so beautiful. But what happens when all of a sudden, a freak puppet emerges, unexpected and unwanted, so repulsive that, at first, she does not want to touch it, but somehow strangely endearing?

What to do with such a puppet? What do her “brothers and sisters” think of her? And what would you do? Would you play with her?
