The Being – A wordless performance for the little ones – Eva Pfitzenmaier
The creature comes crawling and floating through the door and out onto the stage. Is it not human, nor animal – but perhaps a living puddle, a microorganism, a cloud, or an underwater creature from another planet? It changes shape, color and structure, leaves fringes and fibers, wobbles and vibrates, and transforms in time and in interaction with the music.
Through movement, costume and sound, children are introduced to the mysterious creature, and its curious and somewhat helpless search for new friends.
Around the creature, the music is performed with synth, voice, saxophone and accordion by Heidi Kvelvane and Eva Pfitzenmaier. The creature was created by Silje Sandodden Kise, and it is brought to life by choreographer and former dancer in Carte Blanche, Mathias Stoltenberg.
