00:00I have been dreaming of bringing the Strandbeasts here to America for three years, but that's
00:15nothing compared to the dream of Theo Janssen, who has been dreaming Strandbeasts for almost
00:22a quarter century now. Would you please welcome the wonderful Theo Janssen? Thank you.
00:30Yeah, I'm creating a new nature. And I'm adding a new animal to the world. And I'm just like
00:42I'm God. It's strange that people think it's nice to go to that fantasy. They go to my dream.
00:50Oh, oh, oh.
00:59Everyone is dead. My parents said that.
01:05At the end, I was also going to die.
01:09For me, it was an incredible feeling.
01:12I looked at the blue light and said, you are also going to die.
01:17For my parents, it wasn't so bad.
01:20But that I was also going to die, I thought it was an enormous mistake.
01:25I would like to see my forest birds as a kind of children.
01:37I hope that the birds will survive on the beach.
01:44I need a few million years to get it really together.
01:55But yes, when you look at the outside,
02:03I can tell you that someone says,
02:06that man should be naive.
02:09That optimism, where will he take it from?
02:12You know, the eternal life of the Strandbeast is a dream of eternal motion.
02:32These impossible quests we set ourselves as human beings are sometimes what keeps us
02:38going.
