The Nonsense Factory fabricates a fictional world where language has an energy which can be collected and used to construct buildings, houses, and schools. People are encouraged to talk more to gather more energy. This leads to language being used not just for communication but also as a source of energy. However, some individuals criticize this idea as they are unable to adapt to this world, resulting in them becoming impoverished.
The Nonsense Factory uses puppets and props to create a lively atmosphere. But, underneath the surface, it delves into the significance of language and the search for common ground while respecting differences between people from different backgrounds.
