shhhhh.... smell the colour
do you know that smell?
Close your eyes
do you hear the song?
wait
I'm waiting
what?
palavras
I don't know it
it's round; it's long
does it give heat?
is it wet?
splash! heh?
silence
What colour is the silence after the song?
What does water sound like when it comes out of the tap? And how do you say it in your language?
Take a word, give it a voice, a colour, a note and a smell, do you sing along? Yes! And then go to bed. Close your eyes and listen. Do you feel the murmur of the vowels? Lie down for a moment, wait, feel the drops of rain. And... wake up! Huh? But who are those creatures? Palavradoras!
They like to play with long letters and sounds, with pots and garden hoses, and they walk very slowly or dance very fast. And they sing in their beds. And you can join in! 'PALAVRAS' is an interactive musical, multi-sensory performance for children from 2.5 years old that engages in the development of language skills and musical sensitivity.
