ABOUT THE PLAY
By a book for children „The Soul Bird“ by Michal Snunit
Who is jumping there, is it a frog, a rabbit or even a kangaroo? No, those are my feet! They are jumping and hopping and bouncing around wildly, and they can’t stop anymore. My heart is jumping for joy. But sometimes it is also silent, a bit sad and then it beats wildly in anger again. Then I stamp my feet really hard and would like to hide somewhere. Nothing seems really to my liking.
However, all of a sudden there is someone else! Jumping in pairs is much more fun, and everything seesaws and swings and doesn’t let us stop. Inspired by Michal Snunit’s “The Soul Bird”, a children’s bestseller book for kids, translated in over 25 languages, the two young dancers, Gat Goodovitch und Elda Maria Gallo are creating a light-hearted playful dance theatre full of feelings and movement.
