Big Bears Cry Too (6+)

Is Big Bear a Zodiac sign, an oversized honey-crazed mammal or a tattered cuddly toy, loved to bits? Miet Warlop [1978] has been vexed by the concrete nature of such questions for as long as she can remember. Cast-iron certainties are another pet peeve. In their stead, the Flemish theatre maker and visual artist would much rather shake our observations. She is internationally renowned for her original visuals, eccentric dramaturgy and absurdist sense of humour.

Big Bears Cry Too features floating objects, a breathtaking landing and colourful explosions. A feast for the eyes, thanks to Miet’s mountainous imagination. Boulevard’s programmers have had a soft spot for Miet’s work for years. Finally you can see it here.
