A devised theatre in 9 images, about the room as every person’s first universe — our little corner within the world, but also a place of transition.
Inspired by Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, the Spieces of Spaces by Georges Perec, and other poems and texts by the children themselves, the group explores our relationship with the complex world of emotions, space, memories, and the wild creatures that are born when the boundaries between inside and outside fade away.

What is it like to grow up inside your own room?
What does it truly mean to leave—and to return?
What does that wild creature living inside us look like?
What does it truly mean to leave—and to return?
What does that wild creature living inside us look like?
These and other questions are explored through a poetic composition that takes us on a journey through the personal stories of the group. It visits rooms that become wombs, refuges, places of solitude, gateways to the imaginary and the unknown—rooms that transform into oceans to hold the vastness of the world within them!
Texts, images, and sounds intertwine in a scenic play that opens space for imagination, desires, fears, frustrations, and children’s dreams—like a small rite of passage, filled with echoes, silences, noises, shadows, and transformations!
