Performances for children with neurodiversities
»It's sensuous, playful, beautiful and goes straight to the heart.«
»It's so enchanting that we are all integrated into the work«
»In the Heart of it All is an astonishing journey into an image, a play, a state of mind. Happy whoever gets to see and stay an hour in this experience for all the senses.«
»Dansarna... är nära och tillgängliga, med en fenomenal förmåga till lyssnande, interaktiv uppmärksamhet. "The dancers... are close and accessible, with a phenomenal ability to listen and interactive attention."«
»The stage design created by Markus Granqvist and Lena Lindgren is so marvelous, magical and welcoming.«
Hjärtat inuti (In The Heart Of It All) is primarily created for the youngest children with neurodiversity. It is set in a fascinating, constantly changing world – an imaginary journey in eight scenes that celebrates playfulness and imagination. Together with three dancers and one singer, the audience is immersed in a flux of spirited interplay of movement, songs and whispers within fantastical stage and costumes inspired by the microscopic world. This out-of-ordinary performance proposes diverse sensory experiences for all types of perception and encourages curiosity, exploration as well as relaxation and contemplation, within a safe environment.
The celebrated conceptual artist and choreographer Dalija Acin Thelander, the winner of the ASSITEJ International Artistic Excellence Award, is back with a work that offers an unexpected view of the world. In 2017, Dalija Acin Thelander created A Myriad Worlds, based on choreography, sound and space – a work for babies and their accompanying adults. The production went on tour to Hong Kong, the international theatre festival ASSITEJ, Kristiansand/Norway, and Malmö Opera.
Aimed at children with neurodiversity:
In order for all children to get the most out of the experience, we have divided the performances into different audience groups. Every performance has an audience limit of 12 children.
Adjacent to the performance area there is a quiet space for the young audience, if there is a need to take a break from the performance. Please note that the ticket includes 1 child and 1 adult. If there is a need for an extra accompanying adult, contact biljett@operan.se. We have a limited number of extra attendant places.
We have a number of performances on other dates open to everyone - with or without disabilities - you can book these tickets here »
