The Bronx performances are part of an October U.S. tour with 16 performances in 11 cities across six states. The tour opens Oct. 4 in Englewood, New Jersey. To mark the start of the tour, Plim Plim appeared in Times Square on Thursday evening, Oct. 1, offering gifts to the first 50 people to arrive. “We made it to the USA!” its official Instagram account wrote.
The production invites young theatergoers to participate through singing, movement, and interaction with the hosts.
Fiona and Adri are preparing Plim Plim’s concert when they discover that music, movement, and games are missing. The story follows their efforts to put the concert together, with choreography and colorful stage visuals.
The performances will be presented primarily in Spanish, with selected songs in English. The show is designed especially for preschool children and their families.
Before formal classes, neighborhood children came to learn. Years later, the Bronx Documentary Center looks back at what grew from those early days. Read: From a Shared Dream to Images of Bronx Life: The Bronx Documentary Center at 15.
