Underwater

In the new dance theatre show created by mothers and artists Xenia Aidonopoulou and Georgia Tegou, babies aged a few months to two years old and their grown-ups  are taken on a magical journey into the deep blue sea, seated on family islands.

The show vividly brings to life the journey of a ballerina as she wakes from a dreamy sleep and finds herself in the ocean, a comforting world of blue lights and bubbles. As she explores her gorgeous new home, she meets an octopus – and the pair quickly form a loving friendship beneath the waves, dancing a duet to a twinkling soundtrack that features some familiar melodies…

The multi-sensory show Underwater, created with care and consideration for the precious experience of a baby’s first show by a distinguished Greek-British creative team and coming to the GNO Alternative Stage after its sold-out premiere at Watford Palace Theatre earlier this year, is sure to engage and stimulate your baby’s imagination and to offer a magical memory-making and bonding time for all kinds of families.

The production is made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) [www.SNF.org] to enhance the Greek National Opera’s artistic outreach.
