What would a city look like without music and art? What if instead of laughter, loneliness reigns in it? What would life be like without friends and warmth? Such a world, presented through the eyes of artists, can be slightly scary, but also a little funny. ‘Sunny Day’ is the name of the canceled holiday in a town whose inhabitants and appearance have been turned gray and faceless. The donkey Mirko will try to change this and bring back the smiles.

I dedicate the performance to my six-year-old daughter Neda, who reminds me daily of the little things that we adults often forget in our quest to succeed.
