Catcholector on, let’s catch and collect! Special Collectors from the Guessing Institute (Arvausinstituutti) are hard at work – they have been given the task of storing up crumbs of imagination.
Catcholector on, let’s catch and collect! Special Collectors from the Guessing Institute (Arvausinstituutti) are hard at work – they have been given the task of storing up crumbs of imagination.
The ever-so-zealous Special Collectors have developed the Catcholector, a special machine that catches and collects bits and pieces of nonsense. Its extra-sensitive tubes detect all plots, twists and turns that somebody comes to think of.
The Guessing Institute is a dance theatre performance by two artists. The show involves a lot of improvisation and interaction with children and makes us think about the importance of imagination.
