Tickle
How does it sound?
WHAT DOES A TUMMY TICKLE SOUND LIKE?
And what happens when that itch suddenly slips out through your mouth, floats through space, and so flop, crawls through the violin into the marimba, and flop flops into your ears?
In an enchanting visual space, a violin-playing singer, a dancing percussionist and a singing dancer take you on a playful encounter between dance, music and voice. A toddler concert that tickles all the senses.
Kriebel is a production of Oorkaan, De Nationale Opera en Ballet and Philharmonie Luxembourg.
KRIEBEL is the winner of the 2020 International Young Audiences Music Award (YAMaward) in the "Best Small Ensemble" category.

For at home
Download HERE for little ones the super fun coloring page of Kriebel and print it out! What do you see? What instruments do you recognize? And what is the girl doing?
Here's how to make your own stringed instrument!
You will need: a hard lid (from a glass jar), a popsicle stick, four rubber bands, markers and/or paint. Decorate the lid, lollipop stick and rubber bands however you like. Pull the four rubber bands around the lid, making sure the rubber bands are snug and tight. Then glue the flat side (i.e., the top) of the lid to the end of the lollipop stick and presto: you've made your own string instrument! Wait until your audience is quiet as a mouse and your concert can begin.
