En baby krabber rundt blant tyll i ulike farger. Nyanser av turkis, blått, rosa, grått, hvitt. Rundt omkring på tyllet ligger det små sølvfargede, blå og turkise kuler. Og en brun skulptur som kan minne om et dyr. Små, hvite kuber. En haug med tynne hvite tråder. A baby crawls around among tulle in different colors. Shades of turquoise, blue, pink, gray, white. All around the tulle are small silver, blue, and turquoise balls. And a brown sculpture that resembles an animal. Small, white cubes. A bunch of thin white threads.

Splash!

by Céline Meillaud

The dance performance Splash! invites the very youngest children to explore freely through movement, senses, and emotions.

Two sea creatures guide the audience on an interactive underwater dive filled with surprises and sensory experiences. Here we encounter colorful fish, jellyfish with long tentacles, and curious seahorses in a calm, poetic atmosphere. The audience is invited to move, interact with the dancers, and marvel at each moment.

Welcome to the fascinating world of the sea – but watch out for the waves!
