On and Off
for children from 3 to 6 years
On and Off is a music theatre production for children from 3 to 6 years and their parents and grandparents.
A huge pile of strange clothes slowly comes to life. A shiny flute appears out of a sleeve, an arm out of a trouser leg, then a long gleaming wooden pipe with silver keys pushes a gigantic shawl in the air. But every time there’s a drum roll, everything disappears.Three musicians from Frisse Oren play together in a jacket with six sleeves or wear a pair of trousers with room for three heads. Come on! Can’t you go faster? This is too tight! Wow! Discovering, ‘putting on’, transforming and playing the scenery/props is one big musical adventure… Till a hat is found in which only one head can fit. Who will be putting that on?
