In the shows of A.vontura Silent Disco Theater, imagination is literally set in motion. The children all take part physically in the play on the floor. The music, soundscapes and enthusiastic cues of Arie Vontura make everyone disappear completely into the Silent Disco Theater bubble for a while.
The thirty-minute shows can be performed at almost any location. Under the trees, among the library books, in the play room, at festivals or in theatres. You can hardly think of a place where A.vontura Silent Disco Theater hasn't been. Even in spots without a power socket in sight!
A youth theatre show by A.vontura Silent Disco Theater lets children encounter big questions in a playful way, such as: What is friendship? What do you want to be when you grow up? What is time, what is language? How do we save the world?
It varies per show: there are performances from age 2 (such as Kom maar, kipjes! and Kleine Aap) up to age 10 and over. Get in touch and I'll tell you the recommended age for each show.
At schools, up to 35 children can take part per show. In a mixed setting with parents joining in, up to 90 people can take part. Do you have a special request about numbers? Let me know.
The shows are also accessible to children with a disability. While the show invites everyone who can to take part, it is also possible to enjoy the show seated. For deaf children a sign language interpreter may be needed. It is advisable to get in touch in advance so we can take everyone into account as much as possible.
The shows, which last about 30, 45 or 60 minutes, can be performed up to 3 or 4 times a day. Sometimes even at different locations.
A.vontura Silent Disco Theater provides all the necessary technical equipment. All that is needed is a power point and a table to lay out the headphones. There needs to be enough light on the performance area. There are no lighting changes during the show.
The shows fit almost anywhere! Think of gyms, libraries, lawns, squares, open spaces, festivals, theatres, foyers and so on. Loud sound sources nearby, such as a music concert, should be taken into account. In case of rain it is important that the show can take place at a covered location.
If you're interested in a performance, I'll gladly make a free, no-obligation proposal. Just get in touch via the contact form.
