This is an experimental theater performance for children using sensory elements. It’s an interesting meeting between installation-performance and young audience. The production is dealing about fart through fantasy story about frogs living in people’s bottom (frog=fart). This performance is a playful journey/game which children search for what makes OupOup/GegulGegul/KeroKero/KvekkKvekk sound
through the performance. About 30 mins long.
Imagine that we all have our own frogs in our bottoms
and they tend to sing sometimes. And when we listen to their singing, we dance
and our body moves naturally.
In reality we call it fart. The interesting sounds,
smells, dynamics, rhythms and melodies of farts are the main materials of our
production together with the different ways of expressing of frog’s sound in
different languages. For example, the frogs sing (make sound) ”kvekk kvekk” in
Norwegian. In Korean, we express that they sing (make sound) “gegul gegul”,
“oup oup” in Thai, “ribit ribit” in English and “kero kero” in Japanese.
Young audience will take a journey into a space where
they can expereince 3 stages of frog life; Egg- tadpole- adults created by
sounds/words, lights, smells(?) and texture and movements. Of course here the
frog is the metaphore of fart.
