Be kind

CIRCUS THEATRE FOR THE LITTLE ONES

Be kind is an intimate circus theatre experience for babies 6 to 18 months of age and their parents/care givers. Up-close the little ones are introduced to sounds, light, acrobatics and juggling. During the performance a heartwarming dialogue develops between the artists and their young audience. Because of the spontaneous interactions each show is slightly different. After the performance, the artists invite the little ones to explore the stage together. They are allowed to crawl in, out, along and through the set to explore the special materials up close.
Be kind is the directorial debut of Emilie Weisse and in creating this production she worked closely together with the Baby & Child Research Center in Nijmegen. For this collaboration between art and science they were granted the Mingler Scholarship 2022.
To experience theatre together creates a bond, comparable to reading a book together. To have the Be kind experience continue beyond the walls of the theatre, the makers have created a children’s book based on the performance.
