Neva
NEVA, a performance for early years audiences situated between installation and theatre, is an open work conceived as a sensory and narrative experience created in interaction with the audience. With almost no words and no explicit narrative, the performance is sustained by a shared synaesthetic experience. Making use of the materiality and performative qualities of snow and mist, it creates an immersive performance that invites the youngest audiences onto the stage through a scenic device designed specifically for this purpose.
