Kabuk

A musical and poetic performance that celebrates the power of unity in the face of nature's surprises.

We follow the story of three siblings who can't seem to fall asleep, as they embark on a journey to find a seashell, facing challenges with each other, the sea, and sleep itself. Throughout their exciting adventures, the siblings discover the beauty of music, harmony, and the joy of creating together.

Three siblings, hailing from faraway lands, try every possible way to get some sleep, but find the solution to their troubles when they stumble upon a giant seashell by the seaside. These siblings, with vastly different personalities and constantly bickering, attempt to settle into the seashell, but the sea has no intention of letting them rest and repeatedly takes the shell away from them. Throughout their numerous adventures in their quest to reach the shell, the siblings initially blame each other, then the sea, but eventually, instead of blaming anything, they listen to the sounds around them and discover the echo and music within the seashell. Together, they create something beautiful and finally drift off into a peaceful sleep.
