'Colourful Games' at ZiguZajg Lithuanian group engages children through the senses at Żigużajg performance Every day thousands of children are learning to understand their surroundings. It is either by what they see or by what they touch, what they hear or what they taste. While it seems it is only a pleas- ant activity, with the help of games our young ones learn to discov- er and accept the environment around them. The performers of 'Colourful Games' encourage children in this dazzling performance to explore not only the tiny world they have created on stage but also them- selves. This performance from Lithuania is for the very young audience, and two performances are on Novem- ber 18 and 19.
