Pink for Girls & Blue for Boys (6+)

Everything has been put in place for a wild party. The four performers – two men and two women – are ready to roll. They start roughhousing and grow wilder and wilder. And every time they take a tumble or mouth someone off, the realisation grows that the crazy-in-a-good-way dance show Pink for Girls & Blue for Boys deals with the delineation between boys and girls.

The starting material for the Swiss choreographer Tabea Martin were talks she had with children. Are tears ever pink? Or blue? How and when does the inescapable dichotomy between boys and girls begin? The four dancers are throwing all the prejudices and clichés about gender on a big giant heap and start a bonfire. It’s party time, and time to neatly wipe the floor with every unwritten law of theatre for young audiences. Pink for Girls & Blue for Boys is an absurdist dance show that invites everyone to playfully cross old boundaries. P.S. the grammatical gender of the word boundary? Female. For now.
