MYKA
HYPER CORAL

Welcome to ”HYPER CORAL”: A magic dance performance and installation for babies 0 to 2 years old (0 to 24 months) and their adults.

Dive into the colourful world of corals and experience their fragile beauty. Throuhg dance, light, sound, scenography and interactive elements, we create a sensuous universe that brings the fascinating life of coral reefs to life.

In this performance, MYKA explores themes like symbiosis and vulnarability, inviting to reflect upon how we humans exist within nature.
