The company Klankennest has an uncanny gift for devising interactive musical performances that hold very young audiences completely rapt – and Okapi is no exception. 

Like the animal it’s named after, the show feels familiar and mysterious at once, full of surprises. A landscape of natural clay shifts and reshapes itself, while baroque-inspired sounds emerge from sculptures moulded by performers and audience alike. Movement and sound flow freely in a warm, inviting space designed for play. An invitation to explore endlessly.
