A celebration of the small but mighty, transforming everyday life movements into dance, Pizzicato invites kids to join in the treasure hunt, open the junk drawers, and discover new sounds and movements. Listening to the music not only with their ear, watching the dance not only with their eyes, but with their whole body. We tell the story of a tiny little world of secret places and magical objects that have the power to transform reality. Every movement can become a choreographic event, suddenly becoming a dance.

Viola and bow usually go hand in hand, but "Pizzicato" shows off another side of the instrument. Performed entirely in pizzicato, it highlights the virtuosity and expressiveness of plucking and reveals the dancing rhythms hidden in everyday objects. A performance of embodied sound, opening a subtle and organic dialogue between music and dance for the little ones.
