A little boy, aged five, who likes spending time alone, loses the thing he loves the most in the whole world. What happens then? What does he do to cope in its aftermath. Bertolt, a new play by Metamorphosis Theatre Inc, tells his story based on an illustrated book by the same name by Jacques Goldstyn. Director Omkar Bhatkar insists that it is a play for both children and grown-ups since "adults don’t learn how to let something go either".

The story has been adapted to stage by Bhatkar himself and has no dialogue. Instead, it uses a short poetic narration and movement in its 55-minute runtime. The geography of the stage is altered with a ramp to create a T-shaped proscenium that has the audience seated on either side, for a more intimate experience.
