The story revolves around a toy doll who finds herself having a human heart after interacting with "Roboroids" (humanized robots), and unfolds as world-class performers bring you through a series of baton-twirling, breakdancing, mime and magic performances all without a single word.

With the combination of a stage set that makes you feel like you have wandered into a real factory, the occurrence of an 'indoor tornado' that threatens to blow you away, and the new technology called Projection Mapping that projects images onto objects, this show will move you in a way you have never experienced.
