The concept for this multimedia and cross media theatre show was written and developed by Hans Visser and Irena Filippova. The show ran successfully for several years in the Netherlands.
The story of The Kingdom of Senses can be used for many audiences and can be performed in multiple settings. This concept has the potential for a musical, a movie, an animation, a book or even a theme park attraction. The possibilities are truly endless!
The Kingdom of the Senses is about creativity, music, fun, exploration, education and discovering.
The Kingdom of Senses helps children and adults alike, in an adventurous and fun way, to get to know the world of the senses. The characters Eye, Ear, Tongue, Nose and Helping Hand are metaphors for sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but there is also a mysterious sixth Sense in the Kingdom! The King himself is a metaphor for our head and his Castle? Our brain…
This creative concept has already proven itself to be successful as a theatre production and as illustrative books.
The Kingdom of the Senses is a fun and educational multi media show aimed at the entire family. The story captivates the audience's imagination as they explore the adventures of their own senses.
Dutch audiences awarded Kingdom of the Senses with a 9.4!
The Kingdom of the Senses - an overview
Different areas are dedicated to each of the senses. After the main show, which lasts for 25 minutes, everyone is split into 4 equal groups and each group proceeds to a themed marquee. The themed marquees are based on sensory experiences and are staffed by actors, musicians or dancers.
Each of the 4 themed marquees, which form a square around the central big top tent, have their own 15 minute programme, the technical support of which is centrally directed thus ensuring that each group starts and ends at the same time. After 15 minutes, the groups move on to the next marquee, which means that after 1 hour all 4 groups have completed the same programme.
