[Non-Music] 1st Prize & FACP Members' Choice - HEY! YOU - Théâtre des Enfants Terribles

🥇 1st Prize & FACP Members' Choice - Non-Music, 2025 Clare C. & Friends Fellowship

A Word from the Producer

Since 2021, I have been collaborating with Théâtre des Enfants Terribles, co-producing several small- to medium-scale performances including One day with Death and HEY! YOU. The company is known for its concise yet humorous physical storytelling, adept at guiding intergenerational audiences to discover personal emotional connections beneath playful and whimsical surfaces.

In HEY! YOU, the creative team tells the story of a musician’s journey — a metaphor for the challenges we all face in growing up. It asks: when our purest, earliest form of love begins to shift under the weight of reality and external pressures, can we find a new way to love again?

HEY! YOU transcends language. With inventive live music and deconstructed instrument design, the performance offers a surprising and original sonic experience

— an unseen landscape of sound. Both adults and children will find themselves drawn into a space where humor, curiosity, and the spirit of artistic playfulness are shared with sincerity.

About Project

A-Lo loves to share music. He and his best friend ‘Cello’ travel everywhere and share

beautiful melodies to everyone they meet.

One day, during a concert, the sound of Cello suddenly became very strange. A-Lo

tried to make a normal sound, but no matter how he tried it, Cello made an odd and

unpleasant sound. To make matters worse—Cello got angry!

Cello turned into something A-Lo had never seen before. Amid a whirlwind of dizzying chaos, A-Lo entered a mysterious space that was strange, yet somewhat familiar...

Feedback from Audiences

★ The performance was filled with rich variations, and the transformations of the cello's diverse expressions were truly impressive. I love the image of the drifting sheet music so much. I believe that anyone who has ever learned an instrument or studied music, whether as a child or an adult, will surely resonate through the performance.
