Tears are a worldwide human characteristic, highly complex and mysterious. They can baffle, cheat, blackmail and convince. Tears reflect the human nature in all its extremes. This is a central topic in the Tears Project. Based on thoughts, phrases, stories, fairy tales and myths, the performers of konnex approach the phenomenon of tears from different angles.
