Description

What does a circle sound like? How does color move? And what happens if theater begins not with words, but with sound?

The performance “Chatterers” is specially created for the very youngest audiences, offering a safe, aesthetically pure, and sensory-based theater experience. Here, discovery happens through rhythm, sound, repetition, and movement.

On stage we meet Lili and Arvo, explorers of sound and form, or chatterers, who have arrived to discover the sounds, colors, and shapes that live in the space together with toddlers. The performance is designed as a gradual journey of discovery: each element enters the space step by step, creating a colorful and sonorous world.

“Chatterers” is based on the toddler’s natural way of discovering the world through sight, hearing, touch, and movement. Here the little spectator is not just an observer, but becomes the central element of the performance, an active participant who watches, listens, touches, and feels.

It is a performance in which theater grows together with the child and their curiosity, slowly, attentively, and with joy.
