Big Bears Cry Too (6+)
Big Bears Cry Too is a performance that deals with the vulnerability that people experience in this large and incomprehensible universe. A series of objects literally fly onto the stage, each with something to say about individuality in the world. There is a large – a too large – plastic heart that can only be restricted by letting a small amount of air out. Then there is a massive tablet that is supposed to make you happier, but the actual result is that you no longer recognise yourself. And then there is a bear that falls victim to its own excessive cuteness. We end up in a universe of coloured rain and never-ending symbols.
The past 15 years, visual artist and performer Miet Warlop has successfully created idiosyncratic performances on the border of performance and concert. She is internationally acclaimed for her visual originality, explosive dramaturgy and absurd humour. Big Bears Cry Too is her first production for young audiences. Fasten your seatbelts!
