Children’s Culture Week performances

At the end of May, Annantalo will celebrate National Children’s Culture Week. During the week, we will celebrate the art of children and young people!

Performances are held as follows:

Trembling Toes – a course in dance and visual arts (9–17-year-olds): Wonderful Dear Birds
Tue 19.5. at 10 school performance, registration: kultus.hel.fi
Wed 20.5. at 17.30
Sun 24.5. at 13

The mask hides something and at the same time it evokes something else. The fan hides something but shows something else. What kind of story is lurking in your mind? Can you bring it out when you see this dance? All kinds of abilities are valuable to our group. Different skillsets, sensitivities, and ways of thinking are an asset to this group. The props for the work are made by the group themselves. Some of them will stay in Hidden! exhibition after the performances.
Duration: 10 min
Suitable for all ages

Andromeda – theatre course (10–12-year-olds): Changes
Wed 20 May at 10.30 school performance, registration: kultus.hel.fi
Thu 21.5. at 17.30
Sun 24.5. at 12

What changes can a new school and new friends bring? Do you have to change yourself for the sake of friendship, and what happens when the forest spirit shows up on the school trip? Changes is a loosely scripted performance, the scenes of which are inspired by Annantalo’s theme of this year: “Hidden”.
Duration: 20 min
Age recommendation: 7+

Comet – theatre course (16–18-year-olds): War and Peace
Wed 20.5. at 13 school performance, registration: kultus.hel.fi
Thu 21.5. at 18.30
Sat 23.5. at 14

The war will have to wait, we have a party! Comet performs scenes from Pasi Lampela’s play War and Peace, which is a dramatization of Tolstoy’s novel. The selected scenes focus on the characters’ private lives. They try to live hopefully and lovingly despite the war, but the war, as dangerous and oppressive, drives people to the limit. Even if dreams of love and peace are shattered, something good and bright remains. The actors in Comet are 17–19 years old and have hoped to play characters whose lives take big turns during the play. The rights to the performance are managed by Nordic Drama Corner.
Duration: 55 min
Age recommendation: 12+

Dancehearts – dance course (7–17-year-olds): Lost Friends
Thu 21.5. at 10 school performance, registration: kultus.hel.fi
Tue 19.5. at 18:30
Sat 23.5. at 13

A lonely fairy searches for her missing friends among the stars. In the corner of the magiverse, a miraculous cabinet conceals within itself and blows out. Have the friends disappeared into the closet? Or will there be new friends to be found? The scenes that the performance was built on were created by dancing together and getting to know the music that was edited for us. The diversity of skills serves as inspiration for us. Disability or no disability – nothing prevents you from taking part.
Duration: 20 min
Age recommendation: 5+
Some loud music

The Big Dipper – theatre course (13–15-year-olds): Hiding Places and Revelations
Wed 20.5. at 18.30
Sun 24.5. at 14

Hiding Places and Revelations is a mosaic-like performance in which a theatre group tries to work on a performance related to the theme “Hidden”. Through the scenes, a multitude of situations unfold, and sometimes things disappear, sometimes come to light. We see lost objects, hidden feelings, lies, secrets and the life of lice.
Duration: 30 min
Age recommendation: 10+

Milky Way – theatre course: Secrets
Tue 19.5. at 17.30
Sat 23.5. at 12

Welcome to the fantasy world of the Milky Way! The performance of Annantalo’s youngest theatre children has been created with inspiration from the theme “Hidden”. We wondered what could be hidden and why? Through dream roles and play, two stories were born, both of which have secrets.
Duration: 15 min
The performance is suitable for all ages
