Simone de Jong Company - Hermit (ages 2-6 years)
Double bill with Maas Theater & Dance - EGG-tion HERO
Hermit is a funny and moving visual performance about a little house. The inhabitant is not at home, but we do hear him... A performance about being alone and coming home.

Maas Theater & Dance - EGG-tion HERO (ages 3+)
Double bill with Simone de Jong Company - Hermit
Two mimes watch over EGG-tion HERO. With minimal tools and a lot of garden-variety magic they make themselves, each other and the egg vanish into thin air. Definitely dangerous, so don’t try this at home!

plan d-/Andres Denk - OW! (ages 5+)
'OW!' shows that life isn’t always fun, but can be painful as well. How do you deal with this pain, and how do you find comfort and a helping hand to get you back on your feet? A light-hearted dance performance about pain.

SHOW & TELL Spotlight, 20-minute excerpt
