The extraordinary children’s interactive theater company, Compagnia TPO will premiere a new work for 23-24, +ERBA
+Erba – A Forest in the City is an interactive show with two dancers who create together with children an imaginary city. The ‘architect’ dancer observes the landscape and draws the city with houses and streets. The other dancer loves the earth, the insects and draws grass and trees. The two characters move in an empty scene where projections on two large aligned screens evoke a room of wonder. Here their ideas, imagination and projects are drawn from movement and come to life. The architect creates houses full of color and light, the other dancer redesigns them by adding grass and trees. The imaginary city grows by combining their different sensitivities. The newborn city becomes a living environment and new characters and new events are added. The children come to color and populate the city. Insects appear, the seasons change and the city gets bigger, busier and more complex. Their dream of a green city is coming true. Together, with the children, the dancers will design a new space where nature will grow and where a ‘tree concert’ can be expected.

Compagnia TPO is the world’s foremost pioneer in interactive performance media for all ages – creating works for proscenium and alternative spaces – and melding astonishing digital imagery with multi-disciplinary performance techniques in the use of music, dance, art, sculpture, digital media, computer technology, lighting and sound. Learn more about each show in more detail below.
TPO’s shows takes on a particular meaning: our dancers ‘paint’ and ‘play music’ on stage using their bodies or movements thanks to the interactive effects, but especially they invite kids to enter in touch with space and explore it, with a theatrical approach which privileges the use of body and of the sense of looking.
