Irish Premiere
Japan / UK
Be swept away on a magical and fanciful adventure for young audiences.
24 May—25 May
Rip, fold and scrumple!
Shall we see what we can make with a single square of paper?
As you scrunch the paper, see how your imagination begins to dance...
From the show
"This imaginative stage show is ripping fun for under-fives, who will be mesmerised by the paper birds and monsters."
The Guardian
Dive into the magical world of Club Origami, an immersive and interactive dance show inviting young audiences to create, imagine and explore new ways of thinking, playing and moving.
