The Forest
interactive contemporary dance performance for children 7+
Idea & Choreography by Kateryna ALOSHYNA (Ukraine/South Africa) | Performed by Ockert PRINS, Nukeeshia LEKAY, Carren JOHANNISEN, Abigail JOHNSON
For families with children 7+
The Forest presents two intertwining worlds: the mystical realm of nature and mythological creatures, and the real world of human experiences. The performance encourages young audiences to reflect on nature’s significance, love, resilience, and how our actions today shape the world of tomorrow.
The performance unfolds in multiple layers: live on stage and simultaneously on screen, offering audiences a unique multi-dimensional experience. The addition of vibrant animation enhances immersion, inviting children to actively engage in decision-making, fostering creativity in a digital age where automation often replaces imagination.
Music by Maksym BEREZHNYUK (Ukrainian sopilka) & Dmytro ALEKSIENKO (beatboxing) | Animation by Mykyta BUDANTSOV
