 "A journey to Brazil" through the eyes of two children, Petia and Kolin, through the eyes of logic and imagination. A theatrical performance with basic characteristics the revolutionary humor, but also the simplicity of a child's mind. The play deals with two classical types of people; the rationalist and the dreamer. Kolia, who can "fly to the clouds", wishes for a trip to a far away place, Brazil and makes it come true. Petia, apparently a realist can not possible believe it. The two heroes represent the conflict between logic and absurd.

The exploration of the new and the enlargement of what seems to be real in the world, are the basic elements of the story. "If there weren't any dreamers history could not possible change", says the artistic director of "Theatriko Ergotaxio". Furthermore, two other basic elements of the play are the music and the improvisation of the actors.
