NEVA | Joana Magalhães | 2024

Neva [It Snows] is a performance for small children that stands between installation and theatre, an open work designed as a sensory and narrative experience that is created in interaction with the audience. Almost wordless and lacking an explicit narrative, the performance is backed by a shared synaesthetic experience. Drawing on the material and performing nature of both snow and haze, one creates an immersive performance, introducing the young audience to the stage by means of a scenic device set up for that purpose. — Joana Magalhães
