Echoing the feeling of flying through air, Skydiver isa dance-theatre work and multisensory experience for children aged 3–5 and their families.
Inspired by her strong interest in fantasy, storytelling and surrealism, Greek dance artist Xenia Aidonopoulou has created Skydiveras part of the trilogy that travels from water to sky to earth, each part metaphorically exploring a different aspect of early childhood: care, play and risk-taking.
The first in the trilogy, Underwater, created for babies and toddlers, immersed audiences in an underwater world as an allegory of a womb. Skydiver, the second installation of the trilogy, recreates the experience of air that surrounds us in the first few years of life.
