A journey of discovery for the very young and their adult fellow travellers

Musical theatre for the very young! Through this new collaboration between Rif and Theatre De Spiegel, we also welcome the very young to our music theatre workshop!

Travelling is something we all know. Whether it's a trip to the other side of the world, a weekend in a neighbouring country, or going to childcare for the first time with a backpack: we go on a little trip every day. Often with lots of eagerness and joy, but sometimes also with uneasiness, fear or homesickness.

Battoe is a performance about coming home to an ever-changing world. Two artists leave their familiar cocoon behind, and set off 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.

From 1 to 4 years, duration: 35 minutes.
