The show was produced by young people and educators, Since the screenplay of stories that will be told to the props and costumes, scenery and lighting. The event is the most visible result of the project "Here or There? – Choices and dates ", produced by Aymberê Productions with the sponsorship of the Comet, through the proactive business ICMS, promotion of culture program of the Government of the State of São Paulo. Participants are pre-teens and teens 11 to 16 years studying in schools REFER General Paulo Carneiro Tan Alves, REFER Cel Ary Garcia and REFER Ducker, located in the Vila Maria Park, The northern zone of São Paulo.

"The traditional stories bring situations and archetypal characters, speaking of all of us ", explains Cristiana Ceschi. "When we chose to work the stories-dilemma, the idea was to propose situations in which there is no single right way and that, to decide how the story will follow, We have to question our values. This kind of story makes a lot of sense, because it is very present in the lives of these girls and boys ", complete. For example: a woman, your mother and your mate, all three blind, walk together down a road when, magically, are eyes that allow them to view; although, no eyes for all, then you need to decide: There's something about the eyes? There are many criteria that can be mobilised, and in any case there will be 100% of benefit to all, but there's no way to not make the decision.

Throughout the course, young people worked body, voice, gesture and expression. However, more than all that, the main feature that they had to develop was the willingness to hear – not to judge – the others. "One of the main things we have been working is silence, the ability to listen to others, to welcome the stories are of another person ", evaluates Paulo Federal. In a world where we are caused (and almost forced) the opine about all, giving like in time and make the comment "right" immediately (and if it's not the "right" we are massacred by a flood of judgment) It is very difficult to get answers less and more automatic copyright of each. "More than techniques, We worked the ability to not judge others and themselves, so that each can be fully present and accept each as is ", completed Paul.
