What would a city look like without music and art?
What if instead of laughter, loneliness reigns in him?
What would life be without friends and warmth?

Such a world, presented through the eyes of artists, can be slightly creepy, but also a little funny.

Sunny Day is the name of the canceled holiday in a city whose citizens and appearance have been turned gray and impersonal. Mirko the donkey will try to change this and bring back the smiles.

I dedicate this play to my six-year-old daughter Neda, who reminds me daily of the little things that we adults often forget in our pursuit of success.
