Messages in bottles are all over the world, thrown by the waves. What end do they end up with… do they sink to the bottom or run aground? Are they deep or ‘something worth it’?

Show inspired by these aimless bottles, which sail the seas looking for someone to decipher them. The story is played out inside a bottle and the audience is invited to peek through the neck. The entire aesthetic was designed based on letters, notes and messages received by the author.
