A funny and playful play presents a very serious topic – emigration and love for the homeland. The hare Bernadetas, a small businessman, decides to emigrate from his home forest to Vilnius. On his way, he meets friends with the same fate, emigrants from the Petruška farm: the pig Kleopatra, the dog Cezaris and the goat Makedonas. How was their journey? Did they find the city of dreams friendly? You will find all the answers if you come to watch the play. It can be perceived both as a playful and funny fairy tale for kids and a grotesque parabola of modern times for adults. The play perfectly fits various tastes. Actors not only act on the stage but also communicate with the audience, ask to join the play and at the same time personify various characters and sing on the stage.
