Today, one can say that they have a home. Warehouse 6 the Quayside, they set up their fishing nets and their ideas. Here they decided to bring out their dreams in the form of drama. It is an oasis in a sea of ​​neglect among the warehouses, but scrapped increasingly harmful to justify the port reform plans that are in place. The Warehouse of Utopia, Open Group Test, is an island of hope and ideology in the corner of Old River. To celebrate the maturity of 18 years, only exercised their craft.
