Kind

In Kind (Child), Peeping Tom explores the sources of psychosis from the point of view of the child. They take us to a distant and out of joint universe littered by somber fairy tales and magic. To a somber forest at the foot of menacing cliffs, a world that precedes good and evil, in which no limits have been set yet. With infantile tics and gestures, a girl who is far too large riding a bike that is far too small for her leads us into her universe on the fraying borders of the unconscious. A state where the earth speaks, where children grow on trees, and where strange events spark curiosity rather than alarming anyone.

After Vader (2014) and Moeder (2016), Kind is the final chapter of Peeping Tom’s family trilogy that explores the themes of memory, recollections, and the search for connection.

Press

“What unfolds, with unabashed and sometimes crass-seeming dream logic, is an unpredictable series of darkly comic encounters between people robustly embodied by the game, diversely talented cast." (*** The Times)

"This landscape of the untamed imagination may be about childhood, but Child is not a children’s show. You’ll leave wanting to treat children not just with care, but with caution." (****The Guardian)

"An evil Alice in the land of horrors." (Diario de Sevilla)
