Pantalone

non spoken

a musical playlet for two-year-olds and up

Merry-Go-Round needs nothing more than a violin, cello and accordion (oh, yes, and an actor) to take its audience of little people along on a voyage of sound and color. Joyful visual poetry and gentle excitement blend in a performance of curious associations. The Merry-Go-Round slowly turns first one way and then the other. Everything revolves, everything is round - the sun, the moon, the balloon, the oranges, the clock, the letter O, and even the carrot-nosed snowman. He can't talk, much less sing, and yet his heart beats.
The three musicians and their instruments are what fill Merry-Go-Roundemotions, images and situations. The sound of Blue is sharp and chilly. The sound of Red is soft and warm. We need two ears, one for the high notes and one for the low notes. In Merry-Go-Round the alert little audience will soon learn how to see the notes and listen to the colors.

Merry-Go-Round is a show by Pantalone in coproduction with Luxembourg, the designated Cultural Capital of
Europe 2007. The opening performance took place in Luxembourg on June 12, 2007.
