LEO - spectacle de danse jeune public
<p>
Leonardo is the inspiration for the show: his life and artistic work, seen in historicalcontext. We have set ourselves an ambitious challenge - to evoke a visionary genius! </p>

Our intention is not to describe his life, but to pay homage. The show invites its audience on a journey into the fifteenth-century world of the Italian Renaissance. On stage there are three dancers. Three characters. But who are they?</p>

Perhaps they are three muses, hovering in the air of the master’s studio. With humour and ingenuity they take us on a poetic yet mischievous exploration into his creative processes: involving research, play, imagination and truth. This highly visual show will take us through one day in Leonardo’s <em>bottega.</em></p>

To introduce children to Leonardo da Vinci is to open up for them a unique artistic universe. Our aspiration is to evoke for them the scope of his genius through the medium of dance.</p>
