During the performance, the artist wears a metal Nón Lá with incense burning at its peak, symbolizing a spiritual connection with the higher self. As he carries two children, this powerful piece underscores our collective duty to protect and nurture the world of children. It highlights the essential role of play and dreams, embodying the hope for a more emancipated society. Our duty as a species is to preserve their innocence and curiosity, fostering equality and unity. Regardless of nationality or background, every adult plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony, learning from one another, and progressing together towards a more open and developed society.
