Petit Mondrian is a dance-theatre piece in which an Afro-Latiné boy walking through a museum with his mother becomes obsessed with a red, blue, and yellow painting by the French painter Piet Mondrian. It is with those colors and square shapes that he creates his fantasy world which allows him to escape his fear of a monster featured in the traditional Latin American lullaby, “Sleep Little One.” This 20-minute performance will include 10-minutes of free play at the end in which young people can explore the space and artistic vernaculars of the piece in a self-directed way.
