About

Theatre Madam Bach.

Theatre Madam Bach is an internationally touring theatre company based in Denmark, that creates visual theatre for children aged 2-6. Through rich imagery, captivating soundscapes, and a poetic use of words, our theatre performances speak to the senses in a language where the child feels at home. Our shows often extend into other formats such as music, illustrated books, videos, workshops or art projects, promoting creativity and curiosity - encouraging children to engage beyond the theatre experience itself.

Creative learning is an integral part of our work, which is why we have established a new Art Space & Knowledge Base in Denmark for developing shows, art projects, hosting artists in residencies, and exploring Theatre for Early Years with artists from all over the world.
