Back to the dark rooms

Finally it's again cold and dark outside and we can go hide in warm theatres and although it's dark there too, it's magical and special and we see beautiful things, or even scary things and things flying or falling or things in suitcases or things on strings...

I did it recently and went to see a show for the small ones called "Meer dan Beer" - meaning More than a bear. And here I choose three of my favourite moments of this visual/musical experience.

1. It all starts with this soft Teddy Bear waking up in his suitcase...

2. The wallpapers!

3. The most multifunctional/extremely professional puppet theatre stage!

All of this is made by and performed by Maarten Van Aerschot from Tal en Thee figurentheater, Belgium.

Do you know the feeling, when you have something beautiful and you want to play with it, but you don't want to destroy it? You don't want to use it so the fun wouldn't be over? I have it right now with this book from Japanese designers Tupera Tupera. Found it in muji store in Paris. You can put stickers of noses, eyes, moustaches or hair on to various faces. But you can also give a face to apples, or cookies or cups or shells or... or.. or... eggs! 

I will wait for the right time to come to play. 

Have a playful Easter!

Visit tupera tupera, if not for much of reading, at least for some joy of nice web design.
