Takadaaaap!
WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE?
The Maat Saxophone Quartet enchants you with the sounds of their saxophones and takes you into a wonderful world of melodies, movements and images.
Dancer Triolino collects tones and sounds in meadows and forests, on roofs and in castles, by the water and in dreams. During this journey, she is visited by a group of musicians with instruments that are similar and yet also very different. From then on, they travel together and meet strange characters, sail on the sea and frolic in the snow. Or was it all just a dream?
Jeunesse Austria's "Triolino" concerts bring together music, movement and visual art in a unique way. Everything revolves around the development of exciting "staged concerts" that appeal to all senses and actively engage young audiences. The "Triolino" concerts are created through the artistic input of the Jeunesse Hurricane Academy; a collaboration between Oorkaan and Jeunesse, here multi-talented, scintillating young musicians of international excellence are trained in the Oorkaan Method. Takadaaaap! is a co-production of Oorkaan and Jeunesse.
