Curiouser by Flexer & Sandiland. Two performers are on stage. One is kneeling to the right, the other is jumping up into the air, arms outstretched like wings. Behind them is fabric with a projection of the sky. In the foreground are pillows.

“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.
