Kaleidoscope is a dance performance created for children aged 0–3 years and their families, with neurodiversity as its central focus. The audience is invited to enter a landscape of textures, lights, carefully chosen colors, and sounds, and join the performers for a multi-sensorial experience. In a synesthetic environment, with the theme of togetherness, we take an imaginative journey where everyone is safe and free to move around and explore.

The scenography and costumes were developed through research into autism and sensory rooms, children’s toys, as well as how neurodiverse children perceive colors. This informed the use of low-arousal tones and soft fabrics to avoid sensory overload. Drawing inspiration from natural landscapes and artists within the neurodiversity spectrum, I created a series of islands made of soft fabrics where children could climb, touch, dance, and rest. Kaleidoscope is not only a performance but an inclusive sensory world, a temporary utopia, a pause from reality for both kids and adults. In this shared environment, performers and audience meet in a space of care, openness, wonder, and imagination.
