atoMY

A children’s dance performance

A performance by HushKids about the dreams, fears and courage of its young performers.

Premiere: 4 March 2016 · Teatr Nowy in Poznań

The magical world of children’s dreams

“atoMY” premiered at Teatr Nowy in Poznań on 4 March 2016. The project was produced by the Plac Teatralny Foundation with the children’s dance group HushKids.

Through dance, the young performers told adults about their fears, their wishes and the way they see their own world.

The performance grew out of a collaboration between artists from Poznań. The premiere surprised even its creators: the well-prepared children courageously opened their hearts to the audience.

2 seasons

Thanks to the partnership with Teatr Nowy, the performance was presented to audiences over two theatre seasons.

A performance co-funded by its audience

Alongside a grant awarded through a competition run by the Marshal’s Office, crowdfunding formed an important part of the budget. Audiences in Poznań believed in the talent of the young performers and their mentors.

The crowdfunding campaign raised PLN 7,000 towards the production.
