Collection — performance for children (4-6 years) | 17:00

The collection is a play for children (4-6 years old) exploring the phenomenon of collecting as play, need and ritual. Inspired by Tadeusz Kantor's thinking about the collection as a record of life, the project looks at what we collect in childhood and adulthood: stones, words, gestures, memories.

Description of the event

Seashell taken as a souvenir of the holiday. Stick raised while walking — for fun. Stones stuffed in pockets for the pleasure of touching them and throwing them. All these objects have been given to us by nature and by looking at them, touching them, we can satisfy a fraction of the longing for its soothing presence.

In the show, we look at children's need to collect — a natural curiosity that makes us stop at a round stone, a perfectly simple stick or a shell with a unique shape. The two heroines of the play have fun and collect the treasures of nature. From their meeting, a collection of sticks, stones and shells will be created, which can also be co-created by the audience, giving it its own order. The very organization of objects becomes a way of knowing the world and finding one's place in it.

A performance based on the language of movement and derived from a choreographic work with objects, for families with children from 4 to 6 years old.
