INFO: We enter the space of the show without shoes. It is possible to move freely. We ask adults to accompany children at all times, let us also try to take care of their safety and comfort. It is very important for us not to inhibit the natural reactions of our youngest viewers (laughter, words, babbling and even crying are for us an expression of emotions and we really want children to be able to express them freely). If the child feels uncomfortable, you can go out and come back with him at any time. Please do not consume food and drinks during the performance, turn off your mobile phones and do not take pictures.

“Instynkty” is an intimate space where dancers accompany children and adults. In our show, adults interact with children.

“Children need parents as pack leaders to help them find their way in the wilderness of life—just as young wolves do.” — Jesper Juul

Directed by Alicja Morawska-Rubczak and choreographed by Monika Kiwak, highly appreciated in Poland and abroad for her children's projects, “Instynkty” is a performance dedicated to the youngest viewers (0-3 years old) and adults close to them.

The show is a moving answer to the question of what unites people and animals. How do we build closeness, create a home, search? Through movement, actions with objects, light, sound, we want to draw very young children and adults close to them into interaction based on what connects (and at the same time distances so much nowadays) people with the animal world - INSTYNKT.

How to meet a very young child in such an adult topic? - only and exclusively in the trust and belief that knowing the world through movement, experiencing it, developing in action are something natural - for children, their loved ones and people professionally engaged in dance. With full acceptance and openness to each of the people present - we will create a story without words about the encounters, actions and relationships that lie in our nature, which each of the beings creates from birth. The show invites you to a safe, cozy space where families can freely explore the sensory world built from the bodies and costumes of dancers.

The multiplicity of colors and textures, soft music and balanced, inclusive action, were created based on the many years of experience of the creators of the play in the realization of performances for very young children. “Instynkty” - a performance from the current of new choreography - draws inspiration from the intertwining of the wildness of nature and man. Its central premise is the desire to share with the audience the beauty and unusualness of natural phenomena and to encourage them to look at the surrounding reality as a space of magic and beautiful relationships.
