Playing Tones
A mobile theatre piece to touch and experience
For Ages 1+
A musician and a dancer invite you to an artistic play with music, dance and modelling clay. Flour, oil, water and colour mix with movement, dance and music. Accompanied by the transverse flute, all the senses are involved from the very beginning as the flour dusts, the oil runs and the water coloured with food dye turns everything green, red or blue. The new material is explored with curiosity. The coloured lump can be transformed into all sorts of things, becoming a living being, a hat or even a ship that goes on a voyage.
With dance and live music, diverse landscapes and shapes, sounds and noises are created, which are experienced together at the end of the performance. It is a performance that gets by without words and gains its energy from the encounter between the audience and the artists, the material, the dance and the music.
With a sensitive approach, “Playing Tones” invites you to create something together and experience how your own creativity takes shape. This Toihaus production builds a bridge from the children’s room to music theatre and fascinates all age groups.
