DING DONG, TOKTOKTOK
Music and Movement Theater for Children aged 3–6
A playful, interactive music theater performance about curiosity, friendship, and how classical music can break down walls!
Bartok and Pipp are about to start their fitness class when suddenly, loud sounds from the neighbors interrupt them.
Shhh… listen closely! What wondrous sounds surprise the two of them! What extraordinary musical instruments!
The music has energy, it sparkles, it inspires!
Carried away by the neighbors’ music, Bartok and Pipp soon break down walls and join together in dance and musical play. The audience is invited to take part in the games and discover the marvelous world of music—on the way to Mozart.
DING DONG TOKTOKTOK is a playful music and movement theater piece inspired by a musical idea from Michel Boulanger.
