Stora som små

▷ documentation video

Is the child you once were still around?

In the interactive music adventure Stora som små (Big as small) you will go on a journey of discovery and perhaps rediscover things that once were easy and natural, but got forgotten. Between responsibility and control we create an “in between space”, where we can allow ourselves to try, explore and grow as children once again. With voice and music you are led through a world that is usually only visited by the little ones.

Stora som små is an immersive concept with participation through movement in an outdoors setting. As a visitor you control the plot in the company of musicians and guides. By your participation, your senses are activated and the location transforms when you discover it from a new perspective.

Can we rediscover our inner child, as adults?
