SYNOPSIS
It's quite possible that in the near future, fun childhood memories will have nothing to do with climbing trees, jumping, running, playing in the street, rolling around in the dirt, and coming home covered in mud from catching a rain shower. They will be memories of video games, electronic toys, television programs, or mobile phone apps. By combining this increasingly "virtual" world of countless activities with children's free time, they will have fewer and fewer opportunities to benefit from that great school of life that is playing freely.
Excessive homework is an example of those activities that intrude too much on the free time children have to play and participate in social and family life.

The INVENTORY transposes to theatrical imagery that unavoidable moment in any child's daily life: doing homework. The TPCs become the protagonists of a series of situations, math games, that symbolize the extremely important moments in a child's life, where, alone or in a group, they develop their imagination, self-confidence, and self-esteem. The big problem is when imagination starts to take over and situations begin to spiral out of control. The INVENTOR transforms into a surreal world of completely improbable and catastrophic stories and inventions. From Japanese rabbits eating sushi paper sheets to Indians learning to read, astronaut firefighters saving the planet from fires, and an intriguing TPC Brigade trying to thwart this gigantic conspiracy to avoid doing homework.

The INVENTORY is an original show, built from imagined situations where homework needs to be done... and can't be done. A kind of return to childhood with all the creative and healthy benefits for all ages.
A true anthem to the imagination of all children, a show that promises to be fun for children and for all those who like to change... with lots of imagination.
