A fantastic journey through the seashell palace.

To capture the children´s imaginations and engross them completely in the experience, the project takes place in a visually stunning undersea world. The sea has a strong attraction on children and holds many secrets. When you put your ear against a shell you can hear messages from the sea: the seashell whispers secrets to you.

The children enter this undersea world through a seashell palace of fairytale beauty. The children become part of this endangered environment in a way that awakens their senses and helps communicate the environmental issues in a highly creative and interactive way.

All the characters in this submerged environment are based on endangered species living in the Black Sea. The children are met by actors in the guise of sea creatures who invite them to the wedding of two fish, deep inside the sea palace. As they travel through the chambers to reach the wedding, they have to overcome many environmental dangers and discover that some of the guests can´t make it to the wedding because of personal environmental disasters. Experiencing everything from the perspective of a sea world inhabitant helps to shape their awareness and consciousness. They finally reach the wedding party and find that many sea creatures have shown up in defiance of their polluted environment − it is a celebration of hope for the future. Before they leave, the children are invited to make a wedding gift, a drawing, poem or handmade present.
