Boy’s Toys was inspired by my 2-year-old son’s sounds & motions & two toys, a spinning-top and a Russian swinging & klinging doll. How does a child see and comprehend the world? Swing, tube, ladder, mimics and shadows became important elements at VaraQ’s (the Q-theatre’s main stage’s exit) high, narrow space. Lights by Tomi Humalisto. The premiere was in September 1999 at VaraQ, Helsinki, in December it visited the Manifesti Festival in Turku. Duration 45 min’s.
