We Need a Flower

Step into a soft, sensory world where dance becomes language, light becomes story, and every moment blooms into something new. We Need A Flower is a joyful, movement-based performance created especially for babies aged 0–24 months and the people who love and care for them. Inspired by an Italian nursery rhyme, this delicate, wordless work explores the cycle of life and the connection between all things. Through improvised dance, tactile costumes, shifting light and sound, and playful interactions, the performers gently mirror babies’ physical development, inviting curiosity and imagination.

Created by Taiwan’s pioneering Double & Cross Theater Group, this 35-minute performance is divided into three parts inspired by the growth of life: gravity, bones, and future.

This is not your average children’s show. There’s no script, no words. Just the wonder of movement, sound and sensation, crafted to meet babies where they are, and offer parents a moment of reflection, connection and joy.

To make a table, you need wood
To get wood, you need a tree.
To grow a tree, you need seeds.
Need seeds, need fruit
To have fruit, you need flowers
So, to make a table, what you need are flowers.

請你踏進這個被柔軟包覆感官的世界，在那裡... ... 舞蹈幻作為語言，光影道出了故事，每一刻都綻放出嶄新的意義。「我們需要一朵花」是一場充滿喜悅的舞動演出，專為0至24個月大的嬰兒，以及寵愛他們、照顧他們的大人而創作。作品緣由於一首義大利童謠，在沒有語言的空間中，探索生命的循環與萬物的連結。

透過即興舞蹈、服裝的觸感、流動的聲光，以及玩樂式的互動，表演者以輕柔的方式模仿嬰兒的身體發展，由此打開他們的好奇心與想像力。

由臺灣劇團先鋒両両製造聚團創作，這段35分鐘的演出分為三個代表成長歷程的篇章：地心引力、骨骼與未來。

和一般的兒童節目不同，它沒有劇本，沒有語言，只有動作、聲音與感官。以嬰兒的節奏編織而成，也讓父母進而和寶寶產生連結，一起享受這歡欣的時光。

為了有一顆種子，需要一個果實

為了有一個果實，需要一朵花

所以為了擁有一張桌子，你需要一朵花
