WOW! is a physical and musical performance that reveals the world through the eyes of toddlers, who delight in everyday objects and situations.

Ordinary things that appear mundane or challenging turn out to be much more interesting, exciting, and beautiful than we initially think.

Using colourful and multi-sized honeycomb paper books that unfold like fans or accordions, the performers explore endless possibilities, inviting us into their world of play, wonder and delight.

Access Information

Set design: Around 10 yellow and blue paper fans (small and big) and a yellow ballet floor.
Performers: Three performers (dance and theatre) who do not play a certain character. You follow all three discovering the world around them.
Lights: Blue and yellow lights
Experience: Wow is especially made for a young audience, so it is not loud (medium music). There is audience interaction (dancing with the performers) after the performance for those wishing to join.
Capacity: 70 (schools) / 95 (public)
