ONE SEED, TWO MEN - THREE LIVES AND A BURGEONING BEGINNING!
​
One day, two tree-keepers receive a small seed that they have to plant and care for during its growth. But taking care of something so frail and new is no easy task.
So begins In Time, a story gently animating the simplicity and complexity of life for children and adults alike.
​
The two tree-keepers have to feel their way in their new roles and everyday life, whose small tasks and many routines bring about plenty of big emotions and important moments. They embark on the task with equal part enthusiasm, childlike stubbornness and parental pride. But how does one measure well-being and progress? By centimetres? By number of leaves?
The story revolves around a tall and marvellous wooden furniture cabinet with numerous hidden hooks, drawers and cupboards full of objects that fit right into our everyday chores, while at the same time offering a glimse of the magical and thus the mundane and the unusual go hand in hand.
★★★★★
"In Time is something so rare, as a completely quiet, thought-provoking performance for 3-7 years olds. which also captivates adults with its quirky universe. The show offers room for reflection, for spontaneous laughter and fora constant curiosity about what the next drawer hides."
