Colette Sadler:
We Are The Monsters

AGE: 5 - 99

A track jacket tower with legs, a golden creature with a button and a walking nonsense: Welcome to the Monster family! Four dancers disappear in crazy costume objects where it’s hard to tell up from down and where to look for legs and the heads. In a cardboard box landscape, the family arranges itself, determining the world according to their own rules. All the while, every monster’s uniform tells us a whole lot about its character and its specific kind of movement. Chaotically, they double and replicate, regroup and get worn on the head or inside-out. We are the monsters is a show about ludicrous oddities, about the fascination of the unknown. It celebrates diversitiy.

WORKSHOP MEET THE MONSTERS

There is a 20-minutes workshop meet the monsters right after the show – to get to know the strange creatures better. No registration needed.
