Curiouser 2018
“A beautiful total experience of many different sensory impressions….an ambitious project that seamlessly takes the audience on a journey from the fish in the depths of the sea to what crawls and flies on the surface of the earth, and then soars out to the stars in space.”
- Kirstin Aalen, Periskop
An immersive show for children ages 3-6 and their parents/carers, made in collaboration with Norwegian company dybwikdanss. Curiouser used digital technology to create an intimate yet spectacular experience. The piece incorporated animated hand-drawn projection, dance, sound, text and interactive objects.
