Knock Knock Knock 1,5+
Come in, poetry!
Coproduction Centre de Créations pour l'Enfance in FMTM
The first poem, In Your Eyes by Dorothée Volut, takes them to the land of wide-open universes, those that touch us up close and those magically infinite, visually designed by Lucie Félix.
The second poem, The Sun Knocked at My Door by Pierre Soletti lulls them into the beauty of the world, perceived through the rays of sparkling joy drawn by Raphaële Enjary.
The third poem, The Poem Grows under Your Skin by Fabienne Swiatly, invites them to the very heart of poetry by discovering completely new horizons with the help of Myriam Colin’s textile objects.
In an embracing sound space, the actress and the musician offer a lively and stimulating theatrical experience through the prism of play. The play that does not impose anything, but invites. The play of words, sounds, colours and movement. Three worlds come to life around three poetic interpretations of existence and creation. The little and the big viewers are invited to discover the beauty of the simplicity that surrounds them, through which they can sense their inner universe, indulge in aesthetic breathing and simply enjoy the richness of their intuitive imagination.

The Performance Knock Knock Knock addresses viewers whose age is still measured in months and for whom theatre, like the world around them, is magic, where they discover something new at every moment. In this triptych, performer Barbara Jamšek and musician Urban Kolarič take the audience on a journey through colours and shapes in an extremely subtle, gentle and suggestive way. Director Mateja Bizjak Petit paid special attention to rhythm on both the micro and macro levels and easily keeps children’s (and adults’) attention with subtle and thoughtfully coordinated changes and surprises, and with constant physical actions adapted to toddlers
