In the afternoon, the relaxed performance ›crying creatures crying‹ invites you to step into a world of creatures that inhabit our desires, hopes, and despairs. Like the fragments of a dream, tender, fleeting stories emerge—everyday objects morph into magical creatures and otherworldly landscapes. Before choreographer Lee Méir brings her imaginative figures to life on stage and the familiar gives way to the extraordinary, the audience is invited to join in the creative process. Using the provided materials, you can craft your own fantastical beings—or even transform yourself into one!

Designed to be equally engaging for both adults and children, ›crying creatures crying‹ invites the audience to an inclusive experience, one which is open for interpretation, yet remains specific in its dedication to the relation between craft and the boundless power of imagination.
