Runny Nose (6 months – 4 years)

This show is very much at home in a world of selfies, facial expression and fake masking. Starting from a very young age, children love to pose for the mobile phone camera and to experiment with all sorts of dramatic postures.  

The show is inspired by Gogol’s famous story ‘The Nose’ and combines musical snippets from Purcell, Offenbach, Gershwin, Handel, Delibes, Bizet, Shostakovich. 

It’s a Nosy opera for sniffy sneezy snotty children. Two singers/musicians and a videographer/guitarist have fun with arias from well-known operas. On a voyage of discovery of all the bodily senses, together they seek a solution for the Nose’s tickly problem. Whatever is the matter? Mouth, Ear and Eye attempt to solve the mystery.
