musical fable for young audience with underwater video
Undersea is a multidisciplinary musical fable for young audience with underwater video. The story follows James, an island-dwelling young boy and a dreamer. He explores the undersea world and encounters enigmatic beings, sounds, shimmering currents, iridescent reflections, and oblique light. He emerges from his unforgettable underwater adventures with a sense of purpose, a mission to accomplish, and considerable self-confidence.
The show, marked by finesse and great sensitivity, is poetic, funny, action-packed, and above all, awe-inspiring! It also awakens children to the importance of the underwater environment in a gentle and engaging way.
