Eyelashes Grow When You Cry

With an almost animal-like humanity, they prepare performances for the camp that resemble initiation dances. The young people become increasingly aware of their physicality while, at the same time, growing unfamiliar to themselves. As if the body were an impulsive and merciless beast, sometimes making them forget that within it lives a person struggling with unimaginably complex inner processes and feeling more fragile than ever before.

Irbe, Atvars and Mētra try to discover, tame and understand their new bodies, while also learning to navigate the bodies, desires, vulnerabilities and choices of others. “Eyelashes Grow When You Cry” is a performance about the confusing, painful, funny and inevitable transformation from child to adult – for teenagers aged 12 and up, and the adults in their lives.
