The axis of the performance builds on real wishes expressed by heroes approached by the performance’s creators. Some “dreamers” were artists, others – “ordinary” people craving for a home, travelling, sexual satisfaction, finding their true love: a businessman looking for human warmth, a homeless person longing for a shelter as much as for his lost children, a terminally ill young girl eager to endeavour on a journey one last time.

The protagonist of each “dream” was invited on stage or otherwise involved in the staging of his or her “wish”. The creators applied diverse artistic languages to make these wishes come true, including dramatic theatre, physical theatre, performing art, dance, live music and video. In all cases, it involved the character called The Magic Wand, one of seven personas appearing in the story.
