WASCO! (6+)

Explosive action painting performance for and by children

A group of children, a few boxes of crayons, a large supply of paint, and jazz – that’s WASCO!. Ten young per- formers between six and twelve years old build a world from scratch, far away from the one where adults live. They dance their own universe into being with crayons and paintbrushes. The result is a painting. After all, is dancing not drawing in space? If freedom had a shape, what would it look like? WASCO! is an invitation to colour outside the lines. An explosive action painting performance. Unbridled, chaotic, wild and sometimes soft.
