MIRKIDS
‘MIRKIDS’ is the visually stunning dance work for young audiences by choreographer Jasmine Morand, who lives in Vevey (Switzerland). A fascinating, hypnotic factory of images in which young and old can marvel and lose themselves. The audience lies star-shaped on the stage around a large cylinder and looks up into the sky. A giant mirror floats on the ceiling, on which the dancers inside the cylinder are visible. Following a rhythm, individual body parts form incredible figures, like the colourful patterns of a kaleidoscope: symmetrical, flowing, mysterious and always in motion.
Duration: ca. 45 min.
