Bowie for babies (0+)

A tribute to an icon in an interactive experience for the very youngest theatre visitors...

Last year, we saw ‘La petita malumaluga’ at Cultura Nova with Marceline, dedicated to the father of modern clowning. The Spanish theatre company returns with a tribute to an icon who changed the world with his music, his designs and his costumes, from the 1970s right up to his final day: David Bowie.
 

You don’t have to sit still

David Bowie is one of the most non-conformist and revolutionary pop artists of the 20th century. In ‘Bowie for babies’, La petita malumaluga transforms his classics, from ‘Space Oddity’ to ‘Modern Love’, into an interactive experience for the youngest theatregoers.

‘Bowie for babies’ is performed by a singer, a pianist, a percussionist and a dancer using electronic equipment. The performance takes place against a backdrop in the shape of a 33-rpm record, which takes up the entire stage. The children sit around the record with their carers. Together, they enjoy an interactive journey through Bowie’s songs, during which ‘La petita malumaluga’ also reveals its two sides: day and night, exuberance and intimacy, audience and artist. During this journey, the babies and toddlers are free to move about as they please.
