An Uncertain Time by Sarah Austin & Co

What to Expect

Step into a gentle and immersive world designed especially for babies aged 0-18 months and their carers. This sensory performance combines live and recorded songs, soundscapes, physical theatre, circus, and visual projections to create a tactile and visual feast. It offers a unique experience that delights babies while resonating deeply with adults.

The performance explores themes of love, loss, hope, and uncertainty, inviting families to connect through art and early development. With small audiences of no more than 12 babies, carers and children share an intimate circle, placing the youngest audience members at the heart of the experience.

After the 30-minute show, families are encouraged to stay and play in the space, extending the sensory journey and allowing for relaxed interaction.
