Beneath the Snow

Audiences sit directly on the stage around a bed of tissue paper in this immersive theatrical performance. Two figures dressed in white walk across the paper carpet, tossing sheets into the air that transform into creatures like birds, flying fish, and dragons. Accompanied by music and atmospheric lighting, the tissue paper eventually floats towards the audience, inviting young children to play.
