The song about everything that gets lost – NIE
Using live music, projections, physical theatre and storytelling, we transport the audience into a magical world of life's lost treasures. The performance is an intimate and philosophical moment where the audience can both laugh and wonder about small and big questions in life. Here there is room to think about things you haven't thought about much before. Or maybe you have thought about them, but thought you were the only one...
The Song of Everything That Gets Lost is a performance based on children's thoughts and experiences about what happens to things that get lost. "Is the toy I lost last year in the same place as my grandfather who died before I was born? Is there a special place for lost socks and stars that stop shining?" We asked a group of children aged 6-9 to answer the following two questions: Where do things go when they get lost? What kind of stories do the things that disappear carry? Their answers and the stories they told us have become a performance filled with live music, humor and stories of great emotions.
“Some stars are kind of gone and not gone at once. Because when you see a star in the night sky, you can’t be completely sure whether that star is still there, or whether it’s just the light from the star that has traveled through space and all the way down to us and then in the meantime that star has gone out. You can’t be completely sure, but does it really matter?”
The song about everything that gets lost has been played around the world for several years, and has received a number of good reviews.
