WATERWAY
Cesis little Theatre, Latvia

Waterway is interactive performance about the life cycle of water. .The story is about the transformations of water – how a cloud forms from a snowball, rain falls from a cloud, puddles form and flow into streams, streams flow into rivers, rivers go to the sea. We encounter our friends goldfish and a jellyfish live in the sea. In the end, a cloud forms out of the sea and everything can start all over again, and again, again…..

The story is told with limited language, emphasizing nature phenomena – cloud, rain, river, sea etc.- repeating them several times, emphasizing the difference between scale of things – big fish, small fish, big cloud, small cloud, and so on. These cases were included after consultation with child psychologist and cognitive behavioural therapist Diāna Zande. In the conclusion of the performance the children are invited to join the performers in the playing space to interact and enjoy some objects on their own terms…
