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 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.
Recommended age: For babies aged 6 to 16 months. Children must be accompanied by one adult. The capacity for each session is limited to 13 families/pairs.
