Bries

rustling leaves RUSH through the air 
a bucket begins to dance 
a nose passes by, trumpeting, two elbows wobble along 
a tiny frog croaks / the pond holds its breath 
and also: a wide, swirling sock, big enough to sleep inside 
then the wind arrives and together we all are blown — AWAY.


Bries is an interactive and visual theatre concert by drummer and composer Anke Verslype (aki), created especially for everyone aged 3 and up. With three live musicians, a dancer and a living scenography, a world emerges where music, movement and imagination flow together. 
The performance invites children to do more than just watch or listen. In an intimate setting on stage, they are surrounded by the artists and become part of a living installation. They are encouraged to move, dance, relax, and make music themselves. 
With a unique mix of jazz, improvisation, dance, and animation, Bries creates a sensory experience that encourages children to actively participate, let their imagination run free, and experience the power of music together.  

 

Duration: 40 minutes 

Met een zalvende combinatie van percussie, toetsen en fluiten creëert BRIES een meditatief universum dat de allerkleinsten niet exciteert, maar veeleer tot kalmte maant. In tijden van audiovisuele overprikkeling een huzarenstukje…. Zowel kinderen als volwassenen ervaren ‘BRIES’ als een ritueel dat organisch groeit uit het samenzijn.

Pzazz, Jan-Jakob Delanoye
