BLOCK THEATRE PERFORMANCE
IN YOUR HOME TOWN
Includes 35 min. performance
Price: Ask for more information and request an offer according to your needs; annukka ( at ) ko-koo-mo.fi
In block theatre, imagination, with the help of wooden blocks, guides the spectator to a range of different worlds. The non-verbal performance captures the audience, and the puppeteer, together with the music and the rest of the soundscape, breaths life to the blocks.
Block theatre is a visual art form that stirs the viewer’s imagination. The performance opens new points of view for creativity, with the work of art gaining a new layer from each spectator’s unique interpretation.
The show is suitable for all ages. The show accommodates ca. 60 spectators. The show can be performed in an auditorium, a recreation room, or a similar space, where there is room for a 2m x 2m free space near to a power socket. It’s great if you can dim the room, but it’s not an absolute necessity.
Performer: puppet artist Roosa Halme. The performer brings along the props and audio and lightning.

IN YOUR HOME TOWN

Variation no I studies creation and destruction, both deeply rooted in human beings. The peculiar dramaturgy for the wooden blocks emerges from a space, where the most basic of forms, patterns and movement follow their own rules. The message of the show is not aimed at a particular target or age group.
Direction and dramaturgy: Yana Tumina
Performer: puppet artist Roosa Halme
