Clap Clap

“Clap clap” is the sound of two hands, two hands playing, two hands high-fiving, two hands applauding at the end of a show.

But “clap clap” can also be the beginning of a musical discovery, two hands that discover that even with the body you can produce rhythm and make music.

In a park full of animals, birds, dogs, cats and ducks, two children meet. At first they try to play, but the game soon turns into a challenge: they play chasing each other, who can throw the stone the farthest, who can lift the heaviest one.

Eventually they discover that playing against each other is not as fun as playing together: so they bring new characters to life by animating a knee or drawing a big face on an elbow. But what unites them most of all is the discovery of music played with the body: with a great concert of clapping and footwork the two children play together with body percussion and eventually become great friends.
