Ninabu is a multisensory performance for babies aged 3 to 18 months and their adults. It offers a specially designed experience and space where audiences can fully engage—watching, listening, touching, crawling, and feeling safe.
Unfolding as an intimate collage of movement, dance, voice, song, music, scent, interactive play, and tactile and visual objects, Ninabu invites the audience on a journey of imagination, immersed in a playful world of two contrasting elements—nina and bu. Where there’s nina, there’s bu; where there’s bu, there’s nina.
Ninabu is envisioned as a small forest (of life) where each participant creates their own path, inspired by a personal sensory experience—often leading far beyond the forest itself.
