The Creature

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, and the choreography is by Mathias Stoltenberg, a former dancer of Carte Blanche.
