Welcome to the settlement. Here opens an almost perfect and nearly happy world. Viewer, passerby, welcome. What will you sacrifice for us? Will you close your eyes when the time comes? We invite you to paradise, but it will be a strange paradise. Pieced together in a fever - like the contemporary world.

Be careful, you can get lost here, and we hope you do. Feel what it’s like when the old rules no longer work, and new scenarios are being tested for the first time. Maybe you’ll be scared, or maybe you’ll laugh. Laugh! A sense of humor is your passport into our herd.

But remember: the design of a perfect world cannot be perfect. Violence, fear, desire are always waiting for night to fall. Viewer, passerby, welcome. Do you declare yourself ready for a social miracle, a chaos of messages, a constant swapping of roles? No? Come anyway, and see how love triumphs.
