There are two of them. She and He. Through their story, they whisk us away to an imaginary land where any resemblance to a country that exists or has ever existed is purely coincidental.

There, General Poutche rules with an iron fist. But the unexpected arrival of a troupe of travelling performers is set to shake up the established order. When the circus sets up in town, power wavers, authority crumbles and imagination reclaims its rightful place.
