Milky Way
The dance performance Milky Way is coming to Zuiderparktheater in The Hague, for children aged 8 and up. Created by Maas theater en dans, the production previously won a Zilveren Krekel for most impressive youth theatre production and was nominated for a Jonge Zwaan. It now returns with a completely new cast.
What do you do when questions feel too big to carry alone? Milky Way translates that idea into movement. The performance is about trust: trusting that someone will catch you when things get too heavy. That theme hits children directly, and the dancers convey it with precision and energy. No words to explain it, just bodies that show it.
