A Co-production by Starcatchers & Curious Seed
MamaBabaMe is a beautiful dance, physical theatre and live music experience created especially for babies and children aged 0-3 and their grown-ups. Our audience sits within the set around a mini arena with soft boundary edges from which to enjoy the performance. With the soothing sounds of live cello and intimate lighting and set design, MamaBabaMe explores the profound connection between parent and child and how this eternal bond evolves and grows. Every new relationship is a journey – it can be tender, competitive, challenging, and joyful. Where does it begin?
“A tender, sensuous, encompassing piece of children’s theatre” - ★★★★ The Edinburgh Guide
