This uplifting story tells the tale of a robot with a broken heart who gives his remaining strength to save the life of a little bird and rediscovers his life purpose.

The concert lasts approximately 50 minutes, including time to learn the songs. It is suitable for all ages and designed especially for children aged 4 to 8.
