Harry the 3rd
by Soleneviena (LT)

Harry is a friend. A very good friend. Everyone of us has one but maybe call him by a different name. He can listen to you, agree with you, be with you. And he can also break. The same way as we all can break. A story about loneliness, fragility and risk. Loneliness when you create your own world in your mind with your fantasy. When you start believing in things that only you know of. To make you feel less lonely. Fragility that everyone of us has but who dares to show it. The strength within fragility. And risk, as one of the main element that goes all through the story. How often do we take risk? Do we realize how important something is only once we lose it? Cyr wheel as a circus discipline meets... eggs. Playing around with a wheel and eggs on the same floor. How far the game can get?
