PrismaA dance piece for all ages from 7 years
This event is in the past.
Prisma takes us into a world of storytelling. It does so only through movement, entirely without words. Rotem Weissman and her team make characters come to life and take our imagination on a helter skelter ride.

The collective around Rotem Weissman explores the diversity of perceptions that exist among people. Their new piece Prisma uses the magical effect of light refraction as a metaphor for the many ways in which stories can be interpreted. Like in a daydream, situations and objects from children’s books are dissociated from their meaning, allowing new contexts to come into being. The resulting worlds are experienced, discussed and shared together.
