A wordless performance for little explorers.
The creature crawls and floats through the door and onto the stage. It is neither human nor animal – but perhaps a living puddle, a microorganism, a cloud, or an underwater being from another planet? Its shape, colour, and structure changes, leaving fringes and fibres behind, staggering and vibrating, transforming itself to the rhythm of the music.
Through movement, sculptural costumes, and sound, the children are introduced to this mysterious being and its curious, somewhat helpless search for new friends.
The music surrounding the creature is performed by Eva Pfitzenmaier and Heidi Kvelvane with synth, voice, saxophone, and accordion. The creature itself is made by Silje Sandodden Kise, and bringing it to life is choreographer and former dancer of Carte Blanche, Mathias Stoltenberg.
