Oorkaan, Dutch National Opera & Ballet and Philharmonie Luxembourg

In Tickle three musical characters from an art installation, come alive. The young audience then experiences how sound can induce movement in these characters. This motion signals the start of a piece of music for violin, marimba and voice. The characters dance while playing their instruments. The marimba player and baritone/violinist dance a duet with a third (female) dancer. Voice and marimba accompany figurative moving pictures on the wall. It turns into an ongoing transformative, 3D visual spectacle. Afterward, the young audience experience making sounds for themselves with cymbals and woodblocks.
