Manta
Manta is aimed specifically at the very young from 4 to 24 months, but is a joy and caress of the senses for young and old alike.
Manta transforms into a poetic dance with 3 musicians.
Klankennest was inspired by the special visual presence and movements of the Manta giant ray from the ocean. With glass art, wood and textiles the installation took shape. The music is based on old and contemporary music combined with polyrhythmic compositions. This goes hand in hand with improvisations in and with the installation and the audience. Repetition and repetitive elements form the basis for this journey.
The installation is a safe, secure environment that invites to explore, wonder and play.
