Attention! Important Information! For Kids Only!
Can you imagine what would happen if you stopped keeping your room tidy? What would your room turn into? How quickly would it turn into a dump? And what kind of guests would you get? All sorts of sharp-toothed rodents? Stinky flies? Or maybe… Bildukas? Yes. You heard right. Bilduko!
If you didn’t know already, we’ll reveal an old secret—a life full of clutter can become a powerful magnet for the strangest creatures.
Let me tell you a story. A story unlike any other you’ve ever heard. In it, you won’t find yet another exemplary hero, accompanied by a loyal sidekick, saving the world from the chaos caused by the forces of evil.
This is a story about a completely ordinary child. He’s just like you. Like that other kid. Or that one. You can probably already picture him. So, this kid completely ignored his mom’s requests to clean up and, day after day, let things get more and more out of hand, until the mess in his room went way beyond any reasonable limit. And then something unexpected happened: he received a strange visitor—Bildukas Tukas. Since time immemorial, the Bildukas have lived in the attics and other nooks and crannies of people’s homes. Even among his not-so-neat clan, Bildukas Tukas stands out for his exceptional sloppiness. He revels in chaos and is constantly on the lookout for the messiest children so he can move in with them.
This story is about the meeting of two lovers of disorder, their adventures filled with magic and miracles, and the friendship that blossoms between them.
“Bildukas” is a play for the whole family that will not only encourage young viewers to learn how to keep things tidy in a fun way, but will also invite their parents to turn to one another, seek mutual understanding, and discover new ways of getting along.
