Award-winning Spanish dance performance “PLAY” ignites sheer joy of play
Everyday games and toys are reinvented through dance in this playground: swan-shaped floaties will perform “Swan Lake” ballet, pillows several times larger than a human will engage in a pillow fight, gigantic cat’s cradles will form countless patterns, and there will even be a tap dance performed by a mischievous troupe of fluffy dogs, ensuring an endless stream of dazzling surprises.
The production has swept the awards for Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Original Score, and was named a finalist for Best Family Show at the 2020 MAX Awards in Spain. Designed for nothing but sheer joy, it invites all fun-loving children-at-heart to join the celebration.
