Pola Bakhtina, Yan Kalnberzin and Alexey Nadzharov — O Medo é um Bicho Mau — pilot (2026)

Fear becomes an environment that bodies can move through and transform together.

This first pilot translates into space Eduardo Sá’s book illustrated by Pola Bakhtina. Projections, sound and responsive systems invite children and families into the narrative. Bakhtina leads the artistic concept, Yan Kalnberzin develops the interactive systems, and Alexey Nadzharov creates the sound composition.

The trailer published in April 2026 documents an experiment rather than a definitive version. Its interest lies in relocating emotion: fear becomes a shared situation negotiated through movement and play.
