About The Event

The pioneering company of digital, immersive performance for children, Compagnia TPO, presents the New York stop of their tour of +ERBA, an interactive family show that invites children to use their bodies as paintbrushes to create an imaginary city where nature and humans coexist in peace. The immersive experience is led by two professional dancers, who guide the audience in designing a cityscape of houses and streets, interspersed with grass, trees, and creatures—all wondrously appearing in real-time, activated by participants’ movement, on two large projection screens on stage. The idealistic green city grows bigger, busier, and more complex, but a factory looms in the background, scaring away the birds and polluting the environment. Together, we're called to design a new, more eco-friendly neighborhood, one where even the trees may sing if we listen closely.

About The Organizer

Visual, emotional, tactile, immersive... In TPO creation coincides with an interactive scenery. Using digital design all sets become “sensitive environments” continuous crossfades between art and play can be experienced. Dancers, performers and the audience share the stage and find a common ground of enjoyment beyond cultural and language barriers. Each artwork is designed to dialogue with players in motion, individual dancers or children. Images and sounds interface with the moving bodies on stage, transforming live gestures and virtual landscapes into a charming interactive art environment.
