Zigzag: Dance, Sound, and Patterns for Curious Children
A Sunday full of children's laughter, movement, and wonder awaits families at the Consol Theater Gelsenkirchen. In Zigzag, children aged three and older discover a sensual dance-sound performance where lines, rhythms, and bodies merge into a vibrant world of patterns.
When Lines Dance and Sounds Become Visible
Back and forth, across and around, up and down: Two performers follow the zigzag with their feet, arms, sounds, and gestures. Structures emerge in the space that change, disintegrate, and reform. Sometimes the scene appears orderly, sometimes chaotic, sometimes quiet, and sometimes wild.
A Family Experience Inspired by Children's Scribbles
The performance draws from children's first scribbles: lines, zigzags, repetitions, and shapes. From this emerges a child-friendly learning experience about patterns, symmetry, change, and movement. Children experience forms not only with their eyes but also with their ears and their whole body.
Age-appropriate, Humorous, and Immediate
Zigzag is aimed at children aged three and older and combines early drawing development with dance and sound. The performance invites participation, empathy, and zigzagging along. Thus, an age-appropriate family experience is created that stimulates curiosity, perception, and collective discovery.
A Relaxed Theater Afternoon for Families
The performance lasts about one hour and begins on Sunday afternoon at 3 PM. Before and after the performance, the cellar bar of the Consol Theater will be open, offering waffles, water, juice, and coffee. A play area ensures that the theater afternoon winds down relaxed for families.
Summary: Wonder Together and Zigzag Along
Families can expect a humorous, active, and musical journey through order and chaos. Zigzag makes early experiences of patterns visible, audible, and tangible. Those who want to share special time through a children's cultural experience will enjoy an inspiring afternoon full of fun and imagination at the Consol Theater.
