Pretty Things
Oh you pretty, pretty things.
Growing up and finding your place in the world was once a procedure, easy, and defined.
A far cry from the ambiguous journeys of today. This theatrical experience explores these new moments of transformation through the imagination of children. Go with some not so innocent child-like characters on the journey of "growing up", and discover how their imaginative world reveals real lives and dark events.
The passage of childhood is a time of play and discovery. But we might recall that not all playtime in childhood is innocent and joyful. Enter the private, fantasy world of these characters, and revel in their secrets.
It's time to grow up.
