SALTICE connects children with professional artists for an interdisciplinary production which includes storytelling, music, dance, paper art and videography.
The story, written by Susanne Felicitas Wolf, is inspired by the regional treasure trove of legends, the history of salt mining and the famous ice caves of the Austrian Salzkammergut. The vision of composer and director Ruben Zahra is to adopt paper as the primary material for the costumes, props and set design through the application of origami techniques, pop-up sculptures and paper engineering. The contemporary aesthetic of the mise-en-scène is also reflected in the music and the dances choreographed by Silke Grabinger.
SALTICE includes the participation of a children’s choir, a music ensemble, professional dancers with students from the Landesmusikschule under the direction of Wilhelm Zelch.
