Borneo? Butterflies? The title may conjure up images of exotic landscapes, but the story takes us somewhere entirely different: into the 20th century and the twists and turns of a human life.

Krisztina Tóth's sensitive literary world, infused with subtle irony, meets Mari Nagy's extraordinary stage presence in what promises to be a memorable theatrical encounter. A story in which personal destiny and history intertwine, where silences can speak just as powerfully as words.

This staged reading leaves the visual world to the audience's imagination, relying on the power of storytelling, language, and performance.
