DE DAGEN, a music theatre company headed by singer Silvie
Moors, wants to share word, image and music with children and
grownups, a philosophy that is given shape in cross-disciplinary
projects: a visual exhibition accompanied by a music theatre
piece, a picture book changing into a musical tale, or a concert
turning into a plastic workshop – with music and text material
always made to measure.
Pinokkio (2007) is a narrative concert with songs by and with
Silvie Moors and Lieven Gouwy. The concert is accompanied by
an interactive exhibition of illustrations by Sara Fanelli.
Requiem voor een Eend (Requiem for a Duck, 2009) is a musical
kamishibai-performance about death, based on a picture book
by Wolf Erlbruch, with music by Jan Van Outryve performed by
musicians Silvie Moors and Frans Grapperhaus and narrated by
Sofie Sente.
One of DE DAGEN’s classics is Floris en Blancefloer, de kamishibai
(2004), a project developed in co-production with Laika
and in collaboration with children’s art lab ‘Art Basics for Children’.
