Studio Słodownia +3

The Me You Us play is the first production of the group created for very young children. Children and adults sit together in a circle in a comfortable and secure space. The stage set is designed as a huge activity pad full of surprising twists and turns. Through their movements, the dancers reveal before the small babies an extraordinary universe where a combination of sensory stimuli, sounds and gestures is a response to the children’s curiosity concerning the reality around them and their own body. An atmosphere of proximity and mutual astonishment is created between the dancers and the audience as well as between the children and their parents or care-givers. After the 30-minute show, the space is left at the disposal of the spectators, and both children and adults can satiate the curiosity aroused in them a while before.

The show was nominated to the most prestigious Danish theatre award, the Reumert Prize.

Light as a descending feather, “Me You Us” by Aaben Dans is a veritable milestone in the development of theatre for toddlers.
