Kodama

We invite you to contemplate the autumn forest. A polyphony of sounds, colors, and shapes in constant motion and change

In this movement and music performance for children aged 0 to 4, the Blink Flash company invites us to become part of a forest inhabited by the Kodamas, tree spirits from Japanese folklore. Two playful beings who speak with the wind, the trees, and the flowers while listening to the sounds of the forest. The company offers an intimate setting, allowing children to move, stretch, and express themselves freely while watching from their spot. After the applause, you’ll be invited to step onto the stage to dance and play together.

About the company

Blink Flash is a dance-theatre company for young children and their families. With a poetic and contemporary approach, they use the body and movement to talk about emotions. The company was created in 2016, when the Mercat de les Flors and the Festival El Més Petit de Tots suggested that Montse Roig should create a stage show based on the Labs she was running in nursery schools as part of the Body and Movement educational programme, with the company becoming an established part of the daily life of nursery school children and teachers ever since.
