In the last chapter of Howard Pyle's novel “The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood” the main character dies accompanied by his most faithful companion - Little John. This chapter was used by the creators of the show as an inspiration to create a theatrical reminiscence of the adventures of the iconic outlaw. The action takes place on the bridge - the place where, according to legend, the characters first met. The bridge turns out to be a place between life and death, tragedy and comedy, truth and fiction. The world presented on stage is created with conventional theatrical signs using no longer needed objects, garbage and remnants of everyday life. This is the characteristic language of the Theater of Things foundation, whose artists try to use what they have at hand taking into account coincidence as one of the most important factors in the creative process.
