At the time when the Milky Way was still uninhabited, the Space Council had reserved Earth for construction of an inter-planetary highway. Because of the time loop, the representatives of the Council could not get to Earth for many thousand years.

Finally the Council managed to handle the time loop. Returning to the Milky Way, they concluded that the civilization on Earth had developed. War, ecological disasters, crisis tear the earth. People are harassed by a sense of the end of the world. Meeting with aliens and the discovery of life in Cosmos, simultaneously raises hopes and fear amongst humans.

For the first time the representatives of Earth will participate in the Intergalactic Space Summit.

 

 

The gala show was the result of the work of artists of many fields of arts. In addition to circus performances: juggling, acrobatics and clowning - representing modern circus, public observed a story about how circus arts have saved the world from destruction. The show has been led by actors present on two plans: on stage and on video. Their actions kept the show together in a coherent presentation, replacing traditional host. Performance has been accompanied by electronic music, drummers band and an original scenery. Show has been planned and directed by Marta Kuczyńska in cooperation with a team of artists:
