 Niyar – A Paper Tale is an object and puppet theatre show made completely out of paper. A frustrated artist is sitting in front of a mountain of crumpled paper. With each idea that is being thrown aside, the pile gets bigger. In the midst of this creative crisis – life suddenly begins. A paper figure appears and takes the artist on a poetic journey. Karolina Augustyniak (Dziennik Teatralny) describes Niyar as a great show of free imagination, like material shaped with a child's enthusiasm. This unique show is expressed without any words and is a symbolic story of meeting and separation that inspires – as does the purity of its beauty.
