International Festival of Contemporary Theatre
Programme
Catch Me!
10 September 17:00, Ģertrūdes ielas teātris | 10, 7 eur
Catch Me! is about the courage of six parents to face the challenge of learning the movements of their children. For several months they observed behaviour of the kids and tried to repeat their physical expression. Filled with joy and lightness this performance is a tribute to childhood and freedom of a child. Yet, the existence of parents – performers on stage reveals inner fear and discomfort.
The work is part of the festival’s 20th anniversary programme, Twenty.
