Product details

The pieces take us on an adventurous journey, not to exotic faraway places, but into (dream) worlds right in the midst of everyday life, in language. Involved are: animals, plants, objects, ghosts, people, and voices. And what did the children enjoy about the performance? Annika, Carina, and Sara agree: "Everything." Yoko Tawada's theater texts handle everything with ease - even the depths. They are concrete yet philosophical, allowing space for thought while reading. The book itself is designed like a stage where performances take place. In one piece, animals question their lives with humans. In another piece, a family has lost their home and is setting up anew, building a house out of letters, freed from habits and the ordinary, and can now confront the important questions: Whether water runs in the word shower. Why toe is not spelled with a C. How to sew up the hole in the sky. "The alphabet as a world, each letter a word and the beginning of a scene, the play with it forms a small cosmos as a theater of the narrated things." In her writing, she seems to marvel at the language that becomes so wonderful. And she invites us to wonder about our habits.
