Ninni Ninni

Age: 2-4 years

“Ninni la tibkix iżjed, ninni Ġesù Bambin”

We all know and love this timeless Christmas carol, but did you know that Ninni La Tibkix Iżjed is also a traditional Maltese lullaby? In fact, “ninni” is the Maltese word used by many parents to rock their babies and toddlers to sleep. Inspired by this, Ninni, ninni explores how lullabies from around the world cater for the meaning of the phrase through jazz and animation.

As his mother sings him into a slumber, Ninni the polar bear, dreams of going on a journey in search of a new home where they can rest. Along the way, Ninni discovers several lullabies from around the world. The audience will experience jazz renditions of these lullabies, while Ninni’s journey will be portrayed through the medium of animation. As an immersive audience, you will be guided to find or create objects in your own homes, and create sounds throughout each animation when prompted. In other words, you’ll be immersed into the interactive project as your very own foley artists.

So, make yourselves comfortable, and let yourselves embark onto Ninni’s venture.
