Amazingly, there
is no restlessness:
the children sit transfixed
Brilliant! My daughter danced and loved it.
The harmony of sounds and movements stimulated the children’s imagination, hearing and vision. I came with my 6-month old baby and she could concentrate well. It was great to be able to touch and explore the scenography in the end of the performance.
