Junge Triennale, Dance
20.9.-21.9.2025
Dampfgebläsehaus an der Jahrhunderthalle Bochum

A vivid and colourful performative installation for children and families.

Three dancers move through the audience: they create space, shape areas and mark boundaries using coloured sticky tape. Each person in the audience can decide for themselves how to react to this. Either exploring the space or redesigning it with sticky tape, simply watching or grooving along: everybody gets to make their own rules. On selected dates we will offer a performance of this production for a neurodivergent audience.

Co-commissioned by The Southbank Centre and The Place and South East Dance.
