The Games We Play

A tribute to the risky game.

In life, we play. We climb, we run, and we fall. But after a certain age, many people no longer want to take part in the game.

The Games We Play is a performance full of speed and energy that makes you want to play – whether you are 0 or 100 years old.

Here, the art of movement called parkour, is combined with modern dance. With the help of a metal stand, a table, three chairs and a small ball, The Games We Play tells stories of friendship, fear, the playground, the schoolyard and the first crush.

The Games We Play has been called a tribute to the playful human and a performance that makes you happy. 

After the show, children accompanied by adults can test the scenography with the artists.
