THE MIRROR

For the very youngest from 1 to 4 years old. We all know traveling. Whether it is a trip to the other side of the world, a weekend in a neighboring country, or for the first time with a backpack to daycare: we go on a trip a little bit every day. Often with a lot of enthusiasm and joy, but sometimes also with awkwardness, fear, or homesickness. ‘Battoe’ is a performance about coming home in an ever-changing world. Two artists leave their familiar cocoon behind and go on a journey together. On a wooden musical raft with all kinds of hidden sounds, they cross borders and travel through a sea of different emotions. Step by step and wave after wave, they discover the complicated world and themselves a little more.
