Paloma has always mucked about with Pichon. They run wild. They dress up like tigers, flamenco dancers, queens, kings, rabbits and Lady Gaga. Life is fun and funny and a little bit loopy.

Until all of a sudden, Paloma comes face to face with a blinding light named Big Luz, and Paloma and Pichon are catapulted into a strange new world.

Created with an international ensemble, with original songs and quite a bit of Spanish, this mischievous show asks what it takes to stand proud and be true to ourselves, and how we empower the next generation to do the same.
