Théâtre des Enfants Terribles
A Poetic Theater where bodies echo the untold
A Poetic Theater where bodies echo the untold
Established in 2014, Théâtre des Enfants Terribles is dedicated to exploring and experimenting with the vocabulary of contemporary physical theater. The goal is to develop a “poetic theater”—one that is both concise and rich with metaphors for life and human existence.
HEY! YOU
Inspired by the creator’s real growth experience, the performance combines live music, shadows, and object theater. HEY! YOU invites audiences of all ages to connect our auditory and visual imaginations and enter this fantastic journey of musical instrument transformation with A-Lo.
A-Lo and Cello journey everywhere to fill the world with their beautiful melodies.
One unusual day, a sudden shriek escaped Cello—the music vanished, replaced by a strange, unhappy noise! No matter how hard A-Lo played, Cello grew angry and began to change. In a whirl of unexpected chaos, Cello twisted into something new, pulling A-Lo into a mysterious, topsy-turvy world.
A-Lo must navigate this strange, yet somehow familiar, space. This is the start of a fantastical quest to mend Cello’s distress and find the way back to their perfect harmony!"

The performance was filled with rich variations, and the transformations of the cello’s diverse expressions were truly impressive.
