THE CURIOUS GARDEN - AN INTERACTIVE THEATRE INSTALLATION FOR 2-6 YEAR-OLDS

Go explore the tiny landscapes where everyday heroes – ants, bees, butterflies and beetles – hustle and bustle! Here, even the smallest creature has its place.

Inside the theatre installation, audiences/visitors may move around freely among the many interactive stations, which invite moments of connection and immersion between child and adult. Live music by Christian Schrøder and a series of planned actions and stories by Pernille Bach help guide the audience through the experience.

For children aged 2-6 accompanied by an adult

The installation is flexible and can be adapted to a variety of indoor spaces — from galleries and museums to theatres, libraries, cultural centres, concert halls, etc. Contact us to learn more!

“The Curious Garden inspires everyone to go exploring (…) The universe is complete and accomplished”. **** ISCENE

The installation draws inspiration from Theatre Madam Bach's own garden back in Denmark. Here, we have transformed a bare industrial site into a lush, fragrant garden with paths, secret caves, small soundscapes, trickling rainwater channels and buzzing insect hotels. Check out our garden here.
