“When You Really Like Someone, What Happens to Us?”

Kaiku and Usva live on a distant star. They have just received a transmission from Earth from the year 2000. The greatest surprise in the package is the sound of a kiss.

Recently, Usva has been acting strangely; sighing and staring. Kaiku doesn’t understand why the nice friend has changed. He sets out to Earth in a time machine to find an answer. What is a kiss, and why has a special booth been built for it? Thus begins a journey through eras and fairy tales. Along the way, they encounter Burn Out Amor, the Chemist of Love, and a doctor from the 1600s.

The performance boldly and humorously addresses liking, boundaries, physicality, and sexuality from the perspective of a young elementary school child.
