Set on a large paper carpet, young children are encouraged to explore the theme of water with the moving performers. Dance, drawings, live music and projections are used to create a magical world where boats, fishes, crabs and sharks merrily come alive. Share a special moment with your little one in a world filled with play, exploration and discovery.
Artistic Director Lynda says: “Foolish Operations has been a wonderful part of WeeFestival’s journey with their Dancing the Parenting Workshops in 2018, their first performances of Tricoter (Baby) in 2019 and then again in 2022. Julie Lebel is one of Canada’s most dedicated researcher and advocate in the field of Dance for Young Audiences and we’re so looking forward to welcoming her amazing ensemble back with this performance tailored especially for infants and toddlers.“
