The Land of Mea Lilo
The audience is invited by Mea & Lilo, two quirky characters in their discovery of ‘The Land of Mea Lilo ‘ – a place of hidden objects. What happens to them there, and how do they overcome the challenges connecting to the inner child for grownups.
Witness their adventures of creative explorations and watch your imagination come to life! I see you see what could it be?! The work focuses on the joy of imagination and plays through the exploration of banal everyday objects by two heartwarming and not-so-perfect characters. The performance puts value in sharing unfiltered emotions and using a minimalist approach to language with an emphasis on physical language which comes naturally to children.
