Nico and the Navigators belong to the representatives of the second Sophiensaele generation... The stage is a multifunctional installation, a magic box from which various acrobatics and scenic surprises miraculously appear with a visually impressive sense of humour.

Like other great masters of the genre, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the actors wear serious faces.
