A smart and mad dance piece with someone who is a puppet himself: a little vivified man.
The performance was awarded as best performance at the 16th Contemporary Dance Festival in Veszprém, Hungary.

Morgan, how would you describe this little man?
When I first met him he seemed to be a nice little bloke, but then… He is very lively, what’s more somewhat vicious. He is very eager to look for reasons to nag me and he really enjoys it. Surely, I’ll not take this for long. I might need to kill him. I’ll have no choice unless he changes. Him? Change? NEVER. He is up to something. I know.
And I have not talked about his friend, the rabbit yet.

Name: Freeman
Height: 35 cm or smaller
Shoe size: 5 cm
Viciousness: enormous
Is he friendly? Not really…
