Quim Girón reimagines how very young children engage with performance in a tender, playful show. In a circular space, little ones are invited to make their voices heard and to explore sound, gaze and touch through simple games and gentle acrobatics. The piece unfolds as a participatory adventure, funny, soft and moving, where presence and curiosity lead the action without ever being imposed.
