The Rain Theatre
Multi-sensorial performance for children
12.9.2021, at 13:00 and 14:30

Oodi Central Library - Event Space
Third Floor
Töölönlahdenkatu 4
00100 Helsinki

In The Rain Theatre, the science of cloud formation and rainmaking is blended with storytelling in a sensorial experience, supported by a magical scenography, analogue projected visuals and soundscapes that will transport the audience to the rainforest itself.

Water, coming from the abundant rains, is the blood that flows in the Amazon. Human action, ubiquitous nowadays not only alters essential natural mechanisms like the water cycle but also causes biodiversity loss, displaces indigenous communities, threatening knowledge and symbiotic ways of living with Nature. Combining storytelling with all our senses will translate into a universal language, as we aim to create awareness about one of the most important phenomena that take place in the Amazon, and elsewhere: Rain.

This performance in English was conceived as a multi-sensorial experience and aims to bring the science of cloud formation and rainmaking closer to young and family audiences.

This performance is adapted to welcome pairs of one child with one adult. We invite not only parents, but grandparents, older siblings, uncles, aunts and non-blood-related families... to join children in this journey that combines participatory science experimentation, storytelling and visual and sound arts. During the performance, we ask children and adults to engage, empathise and help to restore the unbalance created by humans in the Amazon and bring the rain back.

Please join us on the 12th of September at 13:00 and at 14:30, at the Oodi Central Library in Helsinki. The thirty minutes performance will take place at Oodi's Event Space and after it, the members of Mandarina Collective will extend this space of encounter beyond the stage and take questions from the public about the science of water, clouds and rain or about any other of the elements that take part in the performance.
