In Icelandic 'Kindur' means 'sheep' and this is a show dedicated to Iceland seen through the eyes of its adventurous sheep. All the territory of this island is pervaded by a fairytale like atmosphere. From the white of its glaciers to northern lights, from geysers to the rumble of gigantic waterfalls, this is a country where every natural element seems animated by mysterious forces. Let's take sheep: locked inside a pen for the cold season, they can then taste full freedom travelling by themselves or in small groups from spring to autumn. In their journey they have the opportunity to dip inside the remotest nature and visit its 'hidden' inhabitants, elves and trolls. In their journey the sheep protagonists of 'Kindur' show us this secret world, strong and fragile at the same time, capable of communicating children the extraordinary beauty of nature. This story is told by three dancers who interpret three sheep. What makes the show special is that all the audience is invited to be part of a big flock of sheep. At the entrance every child is given a special heart, it is a woollen heart that lights up when it is time to take an active part in the show. In some cases kids are invited on stage in small groups, at other times all the hearts light up at the same time and this means that it is possible to interact on the stage, together, from our seats.

Dance, theatre or an interactive atelier
For this project Tpo has devised a 'sensitive' stage, where audiences, especially the youngest generations, can enter, immerse in the various natural environments and play interactively thanks to the use of digital sensors and of motion tracking equipped cameras. Inside this space the audience and the performers can draw, produce sounds, interact with images or the elements present onstage.
