H2O
For ages 2 and up
A co-production with the Mierscher Kulturhaus (Mersch, Luxembourg)
The stage comes alive with whispers, splashes, and bubbles as water, in gentle waves and bubbling bubbles, becomes the storyteller. Solid and liquid, steaming or in waves—water is the “stuff of life.” It is nourishment, purification, and the stuff of myths as it tells of the beginning of the world, glistening and murmuring. Here lies the magic of life—on the beach in summer, beneath the ice in winter, or dripping from the faucet.

Press Comments
”What a wonderful sound when water and glass sing together…
Hanging from the ceiling ice blocks melt and drop in a funny way…
On the stove water is boiling in a pot, hissing…
A dripping world of sound.”
Westfälischer Anzeiger, 27.9.2010
„Splish, splash - three actors explore the element water… a marvellous expedition.”
Stadtanzeiger, 26.9.2010
