Is talking to a cat strange? Or burping after a meal? And who actually decides what is “strange”? In the show Strange Thing, you enter a world full of unusual customs and peculiar rules. Until one day, that world is turned completely upside down.
About Strange Thing
A strange world full of odd customs. A child and her mother live together in a colorful living room with a couch and a TV. They do everything together: flower arranging, cleaning, singing songs, doing laundry. Day in, day out, because the mother says so. “Stick to the rules, especially if you don’t understand them.”
The curious child tries her best to listen carefully to what’s expected of her. But she doesn’t quite understand. What happens, though, when she decides to break the rules and go her own way? Follow her on a journey of discovery where nothing is what it seems.
For children aged 6 and up and their parents
This show offers more than just entertainment: it makes you think about how we interact and why we do what we do. A wonderful opportunity to talk with your child about what “strange” really means and about following your own path. Strange Thing is funny, touching, and a feast for the imagination!
Growing up between two cultures
Actress and theater-maker Evgenia Brendes was born in the late days of the Soviet Union, in 1980s Kazakhstan. At the age of twelve, she moved with her parents to Belgium, where she grew up among different languages and cultures. The experience of leaving her homeland and finding her identity in a new world forms the backdrop of her work.
