From the directing concept:
"The sound of a violin. Like a gentle trail that leads us safely back home. A parable for man's stability and his inner peace. It watches over us to remind us of the essence of our being on Earth. Science and technology are undoubtedly important factors in the development and progress of society. Nevertheless, their influence can have a profound effect on human beings. Each of the four (mini) operas represents a different human encounter with modern technology; from the use of mobile applications, to the invention of mechanical devices, to the impact of mass information that directly or subtly affects human judgement. I want the show to touch the audience and give them hope that they can return home safely at any moment."
