Rock-a-bye



In a sensory landscape of textile stones, an abstract universe of strange shapes, crunching sounds, rocking movement and electric guitar tones emerges, all adapted to the exploratory little children who senses and understands the world with their whole being.

"Rock a-bye" examines "Rock" with its various meanings - as material (stone), as musical genre (rock) and as movement (cradling), in a multi-sensory dance performance for the youngest children (6-18 months) and their caregivers . It unfolds as a moving installation where the children are surrounded by scenography and dancers, sounds and lights. The children have complete freedom of movement and are allowed to explore the space in interaction with the dancers.
