An Attempt To Talk With The Beginning Of The World - Anna Newell Theatre Adventures
an immersive dance show for babies aged 3-12 months
“Doing theatre for babies is to explore the unknown. It goes against common sense. It’s political. It’s also necessary, I believe, because babies have a right to beauty and they’re not always exposed to it. Theatre for babies implies commitment, but a commitment that draws us in. It’s the opposite of cynicism. It’s hope in its purest form. It’s an attempt to talk with the beginning of the world” Veronique Coté, Theatre des Confettis, Quebec
An Attempt To Talk With The Beginning Of The World is full of playful up-close dance, intriguing immersive sound and light and many many ping pong balls!
The show opened at Dublin Fringe Festival 2024 in partnership with Draiocht, followed by a tour of Irish venues in Autumn 2024.
Nominated for Gorilla Award for Best Overall Design, Dublin Fringe Festival 2024.
