Welcome to Amygdala \u2013 a performance and an (im)possible experiment
\nFor children aged 3\u201324 months and their caregivers<\/p>\n
Let us begin a journey together
\nback to a time and a place that have already passed.
\nTo do so, we must imagine the unimaginable.<\/p>\n
We travel through flesh, through thought, through memory.
\nBack to our very first capacity to sense.
\nBefore words.
\nBefore meaning.<\/p>\n
Feel the walls around you.
\nThe water.
\nThe sounds.
\nThe light.<\/p>\n
Travel backwards through time.
\nThrough flesh.
\nThrough memory.
\nThrough sensation.
\nBack to where sensation began.<\/p>\n
In Amygdala, the very youngest children, aged 3\u201324 months, and their adults are invited into a sensory, fleshy universe where light, sound, and movement unfold as a journey back to our earliest experiences. Here, heartbeats become rhythms, breath becomes music, and the dance opens an immersive space where beginnings are not merely told, but felt. The audience moves freely through the space and comes into close contact with what emerges between bodies, sound, and light. *Amygdala* invites us to step into our shared beginning\u2014and to listen to what exists before language: what we may not remember with the mind, but with the body.<\/p>\n
