Two spherical climbing frames, a large black cloth, 4 red cloths, and 8 green ropes form the playing field of It takes a Child to raise a Village / FREE. A heartwarming project with professional actors, freerunners, musicians, and youth from our city. Each work by choreographer Guilherme Miotto is a meeting. In this performance, he not only bridges the gap between adults and children but also between freerunning, theater, street art, and art, between the city center and the neighborhood.

More information about the creators

Before Guilherme Miotto decided to produce his work from his own company Corpo Máquina Society at the end of 2017, he danced with, among others, Bruno Listopad, Krisztina de Châtel, Emio Greco, and T.r.a.s.h. and created several works in collaboration with, among others, Korzo (Rise Up – 2015) and DansBrabant (Even Worse -2017 and Ball – 2018). Instinctive Performance, the approach that Miotto developed over the years, he teaches, among others, at Toneelacademie Maastricht where he also works as a mentor and is part of the core team. Miotto’s calling is to give art back to society, to the people, and to make it everyone’s. That is why he shares work in different forms and at different locations with the public.

“What happened here was magical,” wrote journalist Wijbrand Schaap in response to the work in progress he saw during Theaterfestival Boulevard. “The concentration, the dedication, the care was enchantingly beautiful… Here children learn that boundaries can be pushed, and safety is something you care for together.”
