After a residency in Bali, choreographer Laurence Yadi has created a new show for young audiences, about a journey full of humour, poetry and emotion. The piece is set in a perpetual metamorphosis, a mobile world made up of ordinary objects that become extraordinary.
In Balinese, Silahkan means ‘Please’. It’s a word we learn to say as children, an ordinary word, but one that turns out to be precious for children. It’s an open sesame that opens the door to desires, gifts and projects. This ordinary, everyday word opens the door to the magical world of fairy tales, inhabited by princesses, gods, demons and warriors, and all the hazards that a journey so far away can bring.
