From the depths of an aquatic dreamscape PRIMO conjures a vivid sensory journey, letting the creative power of your toddler’s imagination build a world of his or her own devising. In a brightly lit, clear-sided pool, two dancers jump, twirl and float, their arms and legs a whirl of bubbles and colour. Pressing their faces to the windows, the pint-sized audience will find themselves transported, carried away on strange tides into a world of underwater adventures. PRIMO is a co-production with SCHAUBUDE BERLIN, fabrik Potsdam, Fondazione T. r.g., Barnes Crossing. PRIMO is supported by Kunststiftung NRW, Fonds Darstellende Künste e.V. and Small size, big citizens. The company’s travel to Melbourne has been made possible thanks to Kunststiftung NRW.
