The performance at 14:30 is relaxed and sesnory friendly

Manndýr is a participative performance and includes a part where children can play freely with objects and part of the scenography. In the relaxed performance, the doors of the theatre room are open to allow the audience in and out when they want during the show. There is light in the audience and the sounds are set a bit lower than generally so everyone can enjoy it.

MANNDÝR is a participatory performance that questions Man´s role from the point of view of children. This is a beautiful performance for children aged 3 and up, and their families. 

Why does Man exist? Why does a child exist? What are they doing and why? The performance’s soundtrack consists of local children’s reflections on these questions. On stage, Aude Busson follows the children’s voices and traces a story and a reflection on Man and his relationship with the world. 

“A child is here to support the world, to have new ideas, new projects that no one has had, ideas that do not come from before but come from now for later.”  -Excerpt from the performance’s soundtrack. 

In MANNDÝR, the audience is invited into a world of exploration. A world where you explore with all your senses – alone or in a group. A world where you take the time to ask unanswered questions. A world where children tell, create and shape the whole story.
