"A show for children from 0-3 years old with mom or dad to get up them" what´s Aupapá?...One gestural-choreographical solo, which proposes an active interaction with young viewers to an unusual distance in the scenic fact. why?...Having done a previous work for children from 1 year old, we plan to make a proposal to adapt to the natural position of children of that age and their point of view from the crawling position. Thus we made a cubic structure, on its upper face translucent to allow observation - participation from an upper level to the action is created. In the four vertical faces portholes open that allow the participation - observation by older children (up to 3 years). what´s about the work?...Aupapá proposes an interactive space in which freedom is given to babies to participate in or observe as they themselves decide at all times. This communication space does not close only to changes in the interpreter working from within, but also to the space of viewers. how runs the show?...Being a very sensitive public, the development of the show is careful to detail. Therefore the entry as part of the show is conceived; the intensity of light and sound environment contribute to a friendly atmosphere for babies accepting the new situation. So they can make the most of the experience with their children, they are given some guidelines to accompanying adults, inviting them to respect the times and decisions to participate or just observe of babies at all times. After this introduction the audience is invited to join around the stage space, entering the perimeter of white linoleum on the scenic structure is set, for which they should already have been removed their shoes. Light is the element that invites focus attention on the scene to begin and indicating the end by the action of the interpreter, gradually opening out to let go gradually removing the public to collect their personal items and go leaving the room.
