(Day)dreamer

A little room full of pillows, blooming flowers, and dreams.

"I hold the whole world in my hands, all while hugging a pile of pillows."

At times playful, always dynamic, but above all interactive, this performance speaks through gesture, dance, and animated collages. It is intended for young audiences, who, from the soft comfort of their seats, follow the journey through short stories or even gradually become part of them.

Hands and feet become restless companions who want to dance all the way to the very edge of a sheet of paper, from the door to the window of a room, or to the banks of a river of pillows. This multimedia movement solo tells of dreams and their heroes, of the fluttering wings of birds flying beyond the horizon, of a comforter full of snowflakes, and of a musical staff with little birds perched on the strings. We’ll meet along various paths, only to journey together to a blooming meadow or beneath a sky full of stars.

The production gently awakens all the senses, creating space for play and collaboration; in particular, young audience members have the opportunity to enjoy an intense tactile experience thanks to dozens of cushions and a soundscape ranging from silence to the spirited music of the Južany region.

The performance has a limited capacity. Tickets are sold at the price of 200 CZK for both children and adults. Children are all valid from 10 months of age. The performance is intended for children from 1 - 3 years old.
