In the dance performance "Kaleidoscope ", children are invited into a sensuous and exciting universe. The performance takes the audience on a journey that explores texture, light, colors and sounds in an imaginative way. When the senses meet, magic happens.
Poetic dialogue In "Kaleidoscope", colors, movements, live music, sounds, song and speech merge into a sensuous whole. The three dancers welcome children and parents to become part of the performance, through both sound and movement.
Critic Maren Ørstavik in Scenekunst writes: "Kaleidoscope enters into a poetic dialog with the little ones. The dancers lead the way, but the atmosphere is inclusive (...) The dancers are able to respond to the needs of each individual child, and they themselves receive a response. One by one, [the children] crawl out from their cushions and laps, and soon there are far more toddlers than dancers in the circle."
Community and togetherness "Kaleidoscope" takes place in a safe and inclusive space with subdued lighting and gentle sound. The performance is adapted for everyone, regardless of needs, and is especially suitable for children aged 0-3 years and audiences with neuro-variations.
