Diorama

In a wooden mini theatre, objects are placed in a way that a new reality is created. As spectator, you go through a fantastical, poetic, visual journey. The suitcase that functions as a theatre is filled with abstract shapes, decors and characters. As spectator, you go on a journey through this convertible diorama in which various worlds come to life. The story starts on a strange morning, when all at once, the sun doesn’t rise round, but square. The animals decide whether they are pro or against this “new sun”. During night and day, the audience sees recognizable worldly elements:
Penguins on the North Pole, a giraffe at sunset. One world follows another. The sun goes up and down. Until, at one point, the sun is square. The audience is suddenly confronted with an absurd
and unexpected non-existent world. Two dimensional becomes three dimensional, geometrical shapes become animals, the surface gains depth. A new world surfaces and the audience gets room for association. The undecided adventure leads to funny and touching scenes.

This visual theatre is supported by a narrator that invites the audience to step into the story by providing words and sounds. In Diorama we look for a new visual culture for children. Because of the strong focus on the visual and musical, the show is accessible for the youngest of children. Besides that, knowledge of Dutch is not required to be able to understand the show.
