Magic Signs

a letter theatre for the curious, ages 5 and up

Object theatre and live performance

What does an "A" have to say, and how does a "U" move? What happens when the two meet? Do they form a painful "OW"? Or do they startle - "WOA!" - everything around them?
A woman collects magic signs and explores their "voice" in lively episodes. Still unbound by the books of the world, free and spontaneous, they are surprisingly eloquent - without saying much at all.
We get to know these little characters in a playful way: they delight and sulk, join forces or push each other away, grow beyond themselves together, and in doing so create meaning - or nonsense. The alphabet: those who already know it will be amazed; those who don't will never forget it. Either way, everyone leaves with a fresh urge to explore these magical signs that make words visible.
