Ray Roa Alonso
From Day to Night: A Playful Time Journey

Come and play in our fun and sensuous movement landscape! In a universe of colourful tents and special floor structures, children and adults can explore the shared joy of movement with inspiration from the dancers and the music in the room.

Dance artist Ray Roa Alonso invites children aged 0-9 and their grown-ups to explore an adventurous choreographic time journey inspired by his upbringing in the Philippines. Here, the audience and artists create a magical setting together where movement, sound, memories and imagination merge. The scenography, designed by Alexandra Lewon, functions as both a playground and a stage that actively involves both the young and older guests, as well as the dancers.

The light creates transitions in the room “from day to night”. Along with the transitions, the space transforms through three unique ways of playing, presented by dancers Teresa Schou, alex blum and Ray Roa Alonso. Each of them brings in their special artistic experiences as inspiration for the movement of children and adults in the installation.

An evocative soundscape from blundar records creates a dynamic atmosphere that invites children and adults to embrace the rhythm, remember, and create new memories together in the pulsating, changing universe.

With a focus on sustainability, the props are created from recycled materials, which altogether form a world of endless possibilities.

Inspired by childhood games and memories, the room becomes a place filled with care and curiosity, where children and adults can explore and play freely. This is more than a stage and a playground – it’s an invitation to bodily dialogue and a connection to the joy of being.

You can stay in the room as long as you like. You can also return to experience a new “time of day” and new ways of playing.

Entrance to From Day to Night: A Playful Time Journey is free of charge.
