Talk after the performance
The audience lies on the floor in a large circle and looks up to the sky. Above them, in a giant mirror, eight dancers appear, also in a circle. They are in constant motion, creating symmetrical figures and taking on a whole host of forms and shapes as the light varies, like images in a kaleidoscope. Creatures may appear from the oceans, flora and fauna – the only limit is your own imagination.
MIRKIDS is based on a magical stage installation which shows dance from a completely new point of view. With the audience lying back and letting themselves sink into a fascinating world of colour and sound which comes and goes before their very eyes, they are able to see exactly what their own imagination is creating.

Young Dance Festival 2024 sets the world in motion! National and international productions take young people on an exciting journey of (self-)observation, where playfulness, quirky ideas and critical questions are very welcome.
