Cute opera

A voice, a room, a girl about to turn 16. A pile of discarded dolls. Then voice messages from outside, the shrill laughs of a sitcom, the vacation posts of an avatar and the girl's attempt to be that, to become someone else, to dress up, to change. We enter a fluffy world where anything is possible. In which dolls come to life and the neighbor becomes a doll. In which flesh wants to become plastic and objects begin to speak. Dollhouse tells about the empowering power of cuteness and play. We become part of a search for belonging and identity, beyond normative (family) structures. “The light alarm clock simulates the first sunrise, flight mode off, the first messages arrive” – the story begins.
