Doe eens lief

How do you argue with your favorite stuffed animal? Are monsters sometimes sad? How do you catch a dot? When do you say sorry? Can you love a monster? And how do you dance when your anger is in your legs? Do it sweet is a cheeky, visual and physical ode to practicing being sweet.

Two players create together on the spot a world full of petty quarrels and big attempts at making amends. In a white setting, they bring live animations to life. They draw a dot, a mosquito, a boat, a dream, a monster or an endless sea. As fast as they run and stumble, the world they made is gone too. To then create a new world in which they can disappear.

“Every day we tell children to do something better. Against each other, against us, against the world. If you learn how to really love someone or something as a child, hopefully you will be able to do that later as an adult. To really learn to love, you must also learn to argue. And discover that monsters are part of life and that it might be nice to love your monsters sometimes. We thought this fact would be interesting to investigate with and for little ones and then translate it into their perception of the world.”

AFTER THE SHOW
After the performance, there is an interactive post-program between the players and the audience.
