Theater

NaCHT is a performance in which dance and live music form an inseparable whole. Three dancers and three musicians (bassoon/recorder, harp and viola) take you to a completely different world. They create compelling rituals in a cosy setting. So you take a magical journey through the night with dance, sound and images.

‘The young audience eagerly joins in this night adventure, initially fascinated and waiting, but later enticed by the performers to also enter the playing floor, catching lights in the darkness and gazing together at the nocturnal firmament. The night is for everyone, including the very young.’ Theaterkrant, April 2023.

NaCHT was nominated for ‘Jonge Zwaan most impressive youth dance production 2023’.

With DadoDans, choreographer Gaia Gonnelli creates associative, intimate and stimulating dance performances for children from 2 years old. In her work, Gaia combines dance with other art disciplines to inspire young children to use their own imagination. Materials and primary elements such as shapes, colours and sounds play a central role.
