Tiago Guedes (Portugal)
Matrioska

Discovery, curiosity and imagination are at the heart of Matrioska, a work designed for children. Matrioska is beautiful to look at, wonderfully performed and adults love it too!

Using the simplest of means, choreographer Tiago Guedes constructs a magical world where shapes and shadows appear and disappear, creating a myriad of characters who amuse, delight, startle and raise questions. What is hiding there? What is inside that shape? What is that shadow? Is there someone inside it?

In addition to school’s performances across London, there will be opportunities for Dance Umbrella audiences to see this delightful work at Stratford Circus and The Place.

Please note, the workshop at Stratford Circus is included in the ticket price. It has been designed for families, so adults wishing to attend must be accompanied by children. Booking essential, owing to limited capacity.

Suitable for children aged 6+ years

‘An ironic dark fable...absolutely extraordinary.’ PUBLICO
