On and Off
On and Off is a music theatre production for children from 3 to 6 years and their parents and/or grandparents.
When two musicians meet each other in a strange white room, they are surprised by a mountain of colourful clothes that falls out of a wardrobe.
When this mountain comes to life, an amazing musical dressing game begins. Come on! Can’t you go faster? This is too tight! I want this! Wow! Discovering, dressing, transforming and playing the scenery is one big musical adventure… Until it is time to put everything neatly back in the wardrobe.
On and Off is a poetic and humorous production in which the music is as varied and exciting as the continuous change of the performers’ outfits. And it turns out that even the clothes can make music.
Around the performance, the audience itself can experiment and play with clothes and instruments.
