“a digitally created world of astonishing sounds and images.” The Croydon Guardian
Come inside a digital world of magical animations and spectacular sounds. Splash virtual colour by shaking your body, throw wild shapes by wiggling a finger. Move, play and take part in a unique performance with TPO’s award winning technology in a new collaboration with British choreographer Tom Dale.
Crying Out Loud has been touring Italy’s most extraordinary children’s theatre company for ten years, bringing immersive multimedia dance performance to young audiences worldwide.
TPO Company
Directed by Davide Venturini and Francesco Gandi, TPO collaborate with international artists using digital technology, animation, design, dance and sound to create interactive theatre for children.
Crying Out Loud has toured Butterflies, The Japanese Garden, The Kurdish Garden and The Italian Garden across the UK and Ireland to international festivals and world renowned venues including the Southbank Centre and Lyric Hammersmith, London.
