THE BABY BASTION
A choreographed installation performance for the very youngest audience of 0-15 months and their adults. A soft fortress in continuous change, where babies and adults can crawl into to dwell on changing moods and be absorbed by the co-creating soundscape. An immersive and unfolding experience, where two dancers hold the safe space and give you time to be. You can come and go along the way and you decide by yourself how long you want to stay in The Baby Bastion.
ÄR : GRUS / IS : GRAVEL
We build/lay out a row of small stones / it becomes a grain of gravel / in the sand
IS : GRAVEL builds clues and travels through the small in the big, the grain of sand in the universe.
Dance, juggling and shadow play become a game with micro and macro perspectives, similarities and
opposites.
Two figures are looking for something. Which is the right stone?
The performance premieres September 20, 2025, in collaboration with ZebraDans.other companies participating in the pitch session will soon be revealed.
