The Forest is an interactive dance performance combining movement, animation and music, where children become co-creators of the story.

Winner of an Ovation Award at the 2025 National Arts Festival, it is inspired by Lesya Ukrainka's Forest Song. Journeying between the magical world of nature spirits and the human world, audiences experience a rich blend of Amapiano dance grooves, Ukrainian folk traditions and immersive animation. Children may participate actively or observe, making every performance a personal and memorable adventure. The Forest invites children and families to reconnect with nature, imagination, and each other, celebrating a shared sense of wonder in a changing world. Supported by ASSITEJ SA.
