Zick Zack Puff

Dance piece for children and families
  • Recommended for ages 3 and older
  • Running time: 50 minutes
  • Number of dancers: 3

In this performance creatures with extremely diverse qualities meet one another. Through their joint experiences they slowly begin to realise that there is opportunity in diversity, if they join forces and complement each other. Together they succeed in overcoming obstacles and discover new perspectives on even the trickiest of situations. The three company members tumble their way through a colourful range of concise episodes and images that draw their character from the imaginative and varied stage design, the props and in particular the costumes. It only requires balloons, tights and – above all – heaps of paper to realise it. It is just unbelievable how much you can do with it! No doubt – after this performance the children will leave the theatre with tons of ideas to develop and incorporate into their own play.

Workshop

To accompany this piece we can offer workshops in which the company members will familiarise the children with some elements of the production in an age-appropriated way.
