Snail prefers to stay at home, enjoys being alone, and observes the world from afar. In contrast to Chicken, who can't wait a day to run off and explore the world and prefers to always be around others.
One day, Chicken gets lost while getting some fresh air and accidentally meets Snail, who has to leave her house for a moment. Despite their fundamental differences, they nevertheless come together, and Snail helps Chicken find her way back home.
However, things are anything but easy with the taciturn snail. Why does she speak so little? Why does she constantly withdraw? And what does she do when she's alone?
But Huhn remains persistent, and both carefully discover each other's world until they finally become friends.
A piece about the feeling of needing to go out into the world and the feeling of wanting to stay at home, about the space some of us need and the thoughts that fill it. A play about closeness and distance, contact and demarcation. About how we deal with the unfamiliar. About the different ways we approach the world. And the story of an unusual friendship.
