Abubble and Abuzz in Our Bright&Busy House (V hiši 3in3 se godi sto stvari)

Running time: The performance lasts approximately 1 hour.

The complex, inclusive dance project V hiši 3in3 se godi sto stvari (Abubble and Abuzz in Our Bright&Busy House) brings together children and young people with special needs, young dancers and professional dancers, as well as artists from both sides of the Slovenian-Italian border in a joint dance exploration and experimentation: a project dedicated to establishing a movement dialogue that enriches both individual performers and the dance ensemble as a whole. Each member of the Vrtiljak children’s dance group has their own unique movement vocabulary, characterised on the one hand by physical disability and on the other hand by the desire and need for physical expression. The interaction between them opens up a new world of communication.

In the dance performance Abubble and Abuzz in Our Bright&Busy House, the real and imaginary worlds interact and complement each other. Fragments of the children's everyday lives come to life on stage – glimpses at the journey of growing up, learning, coping with difficulties, making friends, and feeling joy. In the imaginary world, everything unfolds as in a dream, with greater intensity and vibrancy, but no less real. With its gaiety and magic, the colourful paper kite transcends the limits of actuality, moving with ease between the realms of both fantasy and reality to create connecting links between them. The coordinated movement on stage reflects the acceptance, support, warmth, and courage that we have introduced into our everyday lives. Dance emerges as a gameplay of gaze, movement, touch, and rhythm, allowing dancers to create unity regardless of the diversity of individual physical expression. Together, we create art where individuals and relationships matter. Art that is born out of respect, acceptance, and shared dialogue.
