“I have witnessed this performance during the Over het IJ Festival, along with my son of 6 years. This show really make it. It is a guided tour where you become more involved. I have no words for. A beautiful and intense yet lightweight experience. Thank you.”

“Astonished visitors are part of the choreography of Gabriella Maiorino. Dancers in fluorescent hot pants and with war paint on the face, invite visitors for a wild pas de deux. “A little scary,” says a boy, when a dancer comes close. Less shy guys soon follow the example of the dancers on the steep wooden climbing walls. The ‘forbidden from sliding’-sign is missing for the occasion.”
