Musical motion play-ritual for children from 3 to 7 and their parents.
Too early for theater? Not really. According to neuroscientists and specialists in early childhood education, children are most receptive precisely in early childhood. If babies learn from the first days, watch performances, listen to music - they will love to do this for the rest of their lives.
7 WHEELS is a journey through 7 different colors, sounds, qualities, states, and ritual rites. Together with the creators of the performance the audience is invited to sit in a circle, in the center of which the action begins with Baltic patterns appearing in a form of video projection, signifying the merge of elements of the universe into one flow.
When authentic Lithuanian folk polyphonic vocal and instrumental music is played live, the viewer does not become a passive observer, but an active participant and creator of the action.
The idea of the show was born while searching for its authentic roots and thus discovering that Lithuanian folklore has many connections with cultures all over the world. Rituals through music and dance are common to all nations, which opens the awareness that we are all citizens of the same one world.
