In the Zulu language, UMUMO means shape. The creators of the performance invite the youngest Friends of Teatr Pinokio on an extraordinary sensory journey that will enable them to discover and SHAPE new worlds. Because although geometry and abstraction seem to come from two different planets, together they can create a unique cosmos.
