This delightful one-of-a-kind exhibition is guaranteed to enthral all children! Conceived by the world-renowned Da Ponte Institute and ZOOM Childrens Museum, this award-winning exhibition invites children to playfully explore 11 themed rooms to discover the differences and similarities of everyday living in the 18th century and present time. Young visitors are encouraged to relate to the young Mozart, identify with him and to compare themselves to him: What was Mozart actually like as a kid? How often did he wash and brush his teeth? What games did he play and why did he travel so much? Why did he never go to school but still spoke several languages? And last but not least: What are my own talents and abilities?
Whether its mixing herbal remedies according to old recipes, making paper wigs, learning how to dance, writing in old-style scripts with quill and ink, or dressing up as aristocrats, children will discover their hidden geniuses through this process of play. A wonderfully enjoyable and educational experience for both children and parents, not to be missed!
*Free admission for child 6 years and below but must be accompanied by an adult holding a paid exhibition admission ticket.
Imprint

(Singapore)
Thursday 1 May Sunday 6 July 2008
10am - 6pm, daily
Rotunda, Level 1
Free admission
For children 5 years old & above
Art should provoke an experience. Imprint encourages the visitor to touch something that is normally forbidden, in this case an artwork. Actual physical contact with the artwork allows the visitor to indulge in their impulse to play.
Using the idea of Pin Art, the desk top interactive object made out of thousands of movable pins that takes the shape of your hand or your face, the artist takes an ordinary 'kitsch' coffee table object, blows it up into a life-size sculpture and an interactive art object. Visitors will have this impulse to create an impression of their own figure by pressing against the artwork or simply arranging the rods to create a drawing and to experience the sensation of the moving rods against the palms of their hands.

This is Puppetry at its most ingenious and disarming. . .fabulously Imaginative
The Age, Melbourne
Winner of the Festival Directors Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Men of Steel sees three mad chefs animating everything from an electric frypan to a tin of dog food in a puppet extravaganza of epic proportions. Across three episodes of cartoon violence, physical comedy and mess (lots and lots of mess), the Men of Steel will delight the children of Singapore with their extraordinary puppetry skills and vicious sense of humour.
Known for exquisite puppetry combined with a vicious sense of humour that appeals to all ages, this is object theatre at its inventive best.

Recommended for children 6 10 years old

A singer and her shadow, two animals, a strange creature coming out of a meteorite, an invisible being crossing the stage - these are the ingredients of Matrioska. This original and highly imaginative performance stimulates the natural curiosity in children, probing them to discover, question and form their understanding of the elements that are presented to them in a spontaneous, surprising way.
Matrioska is meant to be an enigma from the beginning to the end, with discovery as its core theme. Based on the idea that there are overlapping layers in the things we see, Matrioska will thrill young audiences with successive transformations of the stage setting and its characters, often with no apparent order, thus challenging the young ones to organise their thoughts and build their own stories at the end. A truly unique theatrical experience for both parents and children!
