First part of Berger´s debut album "Creatures". 

First three songs on this EP emerge from a theatre collaboration with English playwright and director Richard Aczel and his theatre group Port In Air - so all songs on "Creatures I" are written in English. 

Miriam wrote the soundtrack for the production "Hardly still walking, not yet flying" back then in 2015, each piece of music being just one and a half minutes long. Rediscovering the music years later, she decided to complete the songs - leading to a wonderful collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and theatre musician Radek Fedyk, who added his musical skills and magic, while Richard Aczel contributed another verse for "The Unanswered Question". 

So here they are, these little creatures - all grown up and metamorphosed. 

Plus: Something for the happy ending... "When Most I Wink" is based on Shakespeare´s sonnet No. 43. Miriam originally wrote it for the film "Das Theater träumt", a Theater Gütersloh production about the wild fantasies of a dreaming theatre, filmed during first lockdown in 2020.
