A Kinder Society

I was wondering ... Do you wonder
What if the best versions of ourselves are the ones we start out as? The mind of a child is perfectly curious, but it is not something we can keep forever.

At some point in your life you may have forgotten how to lose yourself in your imagination? How to dream? To wonder? To be silly and free? At the Children's Society we believe we can get back there if we want to - come with us and we'll show you how!

This is a film adaptation of an opera written by Amy Bryce during her residency at the Foundation for Art and Music for Dresden 2019. The original stage version was designed to use HELLERAU - European Centre for the Arts as a site-specific location for immersive activities, inviting the audience to participate in the opera scenes as they moved through the building, using every nook, door and stairwell.

This production is in collaboration with Catherine Valve (filmmaker) and will be performed by Sarah Parkin (soprano), Rosie Middleton (mezzo-soprano) and Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser (instrumentalist).
