KnockKnock

← Back to programme
A playfully exploratory hunt for sounds, tones, and rhythms.
KnockKnock is a poetic and playful journey into a world of sound and imagination, created for the youngest audiences and their companions, those unafraid to hear and see the world a little differently. Two boys, with humour and curiosity, uncover the secrets of a house under construction, where every tap becomes the beginning of a great adventure. Directed by Hana Strejčková, KnockKnock was developed in close collaboration with composer Michal Müller.
This original production for toddlers, younger and older children alike, plays with comic imaginings of who, or what, is knocking on the door, or on anything around us. Where do the sounds come from? Above, below, inside the walls, or from someone outside the window, or beneath us on the ground floor? These are no ordinary knocks: behind each one lies a story, or characters such as a mother or father, but also a gust of wind, a bouncing ball, or a drop of water. What situations do these sounds lead us into? What kind of music can emerge from them?
In KnockKnock, the two performers allow themselves to be constantly surprised, as every corner of the unfinished house resonates differently.
A language-free performance in the genre of physical theatre with elements of new circus, suitable for children aged 18 months and up.
