Following several impressive solos and duets, in this new production Meg Stuart returns to working with an ensemble. At some point in the past she named her company 'Damaged Goods' because she wished to focus attention on damaged people and their relationships. Her oeuvre comprises numerous projects and joint ventures. Nevertheless they all have something in common: an examination of the relationship between performance and dance, between movement and space.
In 'Do Animals Cry' she enters the realm of the family together with her performers and the composer Hahn Rowe and set designer Doris Dziersk. What makes a family? Do you picture a family in pyjamas and slippers? Each member has a string of nicknames; Frank is also called Frankie boy, Frankie Fucker, Little Shit and Honey. The setting is a tunnel full of memories, dreams and disappointments. There is no need for a fixed role. People leave and enter the family portrait uninvited. Vulnerability is exposed, everyone plays a role and sleepwalks blind. Emotions are controlled. Every newcomer is an intruder. No dogs allowed.
