What is it like to be human? To be a child? Manndýr is a participatory performance about humankind and children’s role in the world.
Duration: approx. 45 min.
Language: Finnish
Age recommendation: 3–10-years
“A child is here to support the world, to have new ideas, new projects that no one has had, ideas that do not come from before but come from now for later.” (Excerpts from the french soundtrack of the performance)
Children’s thoughts and Borko’s music compose the soundtrack and creates an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. On stage, Aude Busson follows the voices of children and traces a story of mankind and its relationship to the world. In Manndýr, guests are invited to dwell in a world where children tell the whole story and many questions will stay unanswered. They are invited to a world where playing and sensitive exploration are fully part of the experience.
Manndýr has been shown already 60 times in theaters and schools in Iceland, France and Norway.
