«Alice in Wonderland»,

Young Alice, lost in her dreams, dozes in the shade of the garden. Her sleep is quiet, but through the veil of her half-slumber, shadows emerge, dancing in a whimsical whirl, as if foretelling a series of incredible adventures. Suddenly, like a frightened vision, the White Rabbit rushes by, glancing at his watch from time to time. Enchanted, driven by unstoppable curiosity, Alice immediately follows him.

Before she can collect herself, Alice plummets into an endless rabbit hole. Around her, as if in slow motion, pass curious objects: bookshelves, elegant candelabras, scattered playing cards. The fall turns into a surreal dance – smooth and dizzying, at once enticing and frightening.
Upon waking, Alice finds herself in a mysterious mushroom forest. In its very heart stands a gigantic mushroom, on top of which sits the wise Caterpillar. She performs a meditative dance full of enigmatic movements, each seeming to hold an ancient secret. The Caterpillar urges Alice to find her own path, reminding her of the elusive changeability of the world and its unpredictability.

Alice finds herself at a table set for a mad tea party. The Hatter and the March Hare perform a completely eccentric dance, consisting of illogical 'steps' and movements constantly interrupting each other. The rhythm shifts chaotically and unpredictably, creating an atmosphere of absurdity.

Next, Alice finds herself in the Queen of Hearts' garden. The playing cards, as if brought to life, dance a strict, precise march. The Queen herself appears, performing a dance full of authority and menace. She accuses Alice of boldly breaking the rules and delivers a harsh sentence – execution.

In an instant, Alice wakes up in her familiar garden. Was it all just a dream? She looks around, recognizing the familiar flowers and trees. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she notices a slight movement – the shadow of the Rabbit flickering in the bushes. Alice smiles, realizing that even on the most ordinary day, the world is full of wonders, even if they are hidden from a superficial glance.
