Odile has lost her tears. Bob has too many. Together, they will learn to cry properly, they take us on a wacky adventure that reconnects us with emotions... A tender, luminous, and humorous show for children... but not only!
Larmes tells the story of Odile who can no longer cry, neither when cutting onions, nor in front of Titanic, nor in moments of panic. When her teacher tells her that she will end up exploding, she decides to go in search of her tears.
That is when her journey to the clouds begins, convinced that they must be experts in matters of crying. She is accompanied by Bob who, for his part, cries all the time. He finds Odile super strong with her eyes that even the wind does not make cry. He therefore decides to follow her to learn from her. Will he manage to be strong like her? Will she end up finding her tears?
Inspired by her personal story, Alice Borgers delivers an adventure full of emotions, in a universe inspired by pop-up books. Mixing stand-up, shadow theater, clowning, and puppets, she offers us a show, accessible and joyful, capable of touching children as well as adults.
And what if accepting to cry and show one's emotions was what it meant to be strong?
