Zoemmm
Oorkaan, Orpheus Kinderkaravaan & Aires Tropicales Quintet
In Zoemmm, we explore the world of insects with tropical music. The Cuban wind quintet Aires Tropicales brings the flying and crawling world to life, but also notices how quiet it has become.
What do you hear outside in nature, in the trees, the shells, underground? And where is it quiet?
Under your feet, it's teeming with bacteria, fungi, beetles, springtails, and worms. Above your head, butterflies dance with the tiniest creatures. But what happens when the music stops? What if the dance of the insects disappears forever? What does a world sound like without buzzing, crawling, and chirping? With their instruments as wings, the musicians flutter through the peculiar world of the tiny giants of our planet.
Buzz is a cheerful and colorful theatrical concert for everyone aged 4 and up. With a mix of tropical sounds, groovy rhythms, and modern hits, like Bad Guy by Billie Eilish, they breathe new life into the insect orchestra. An invitation to listen along, move along, and reflect on the magic of nature.
