“Extraordinary. A sensual feast of color, sound and movement.” – Western Daily Press (UK)

Farfalle, Italian for “butterflies,” is an interactive visual feast that follows the exciting journey of a caterpillar as it morphs into a beautiful butterfly. Through Compagnia TPO’s innovative use of dance, video, music and interactive technologies, audiences of all ages will be taken on a magical adventure that allows them to not only witness the metamorphosis of the butterfly, but to also participate in a variety of ways. From composing songs and lullabies with their feet, to chasing caterpillars, to painting the air, this performance blurs the lines between art and play, creating a brand-new experience that ignites all the senses!
