Obang

Theatre for babies up to 16 months old

A multicultural theatre show for babies!

Obang is a performative installation space designed for babies aged 6 to 16 months old and with their care-givers. It is inspired by the traditional Korean concept of Obang which refers to five primary colours that are connected with five different spaces at home. 

Obang is a joyful and interactive experience featuring puppetry elements, story-telling and free-play for babies in an immersive and multi-sensory environment. In the storyline, audiences are invited to a Korean grandparent's home. Together, audiences will experience a day’s life which includes cooking, washing, bathing and sleeping.

Obang will be presented as a 50-minute installation performance.
