The Big Black Bird

Everyone is welcome to the premiere of our latest production!
An interactive story followed by a creative workshop to get started yourself. For everyone from 6 years old at the Krokusfestival 28 February and 01 March.

The Big Black Bird is a story that has yet to be made up. Together with the children's imagination, a new story unfolds, piece by piece, fragment by fragment. No one knows the story and yet it is there. Thus the great black bird flies further into the void.

Has anyone seen him yet? Tell us and will you fly with us?

During the performance, theater maker Michiel Alberts and the children improvise a completely new myth about 'The Big Black Bird'. In this way new characters, wonderful locations, sudden turns and wonderful adventures arise from one's own amazement. WITHWIT accompanies these stories with exciting objects, soundscapes and shadow play. As a relay race, the story is passed on to the next group and so on. There is also a visual studio where the invented story is designed by the children. This creates a large visual universe.
