The Art House Presents
An Uncertain Time by Sarah Austin & Co
Produced by Performing Lines
An Uncertain Time is an immersive, sensory performance designed specifically for babies and their carers. Enjoy 30 minutes of special time for you and your littlest one, plus optional play time after the show.
An Uncertain Time uses a combination of live and recorded music, ethereal and malleable lighting design, visual projections, physical theatre and circus, and sensory experiences to create a narrative journey for both baby and carer. It is a tactile, sensory and visual experience that will captivate babies and adults alike.
The work explores ideas of love, loss, hope and the notion of uncertainty that permeates the first year of a child’s life, for both the child and their carers. It reflects on the infinite possibility and potential of early childhood, as well as the responsibility of caring for new life in an ever-changing environment.
This work is for babies and their carers. To ensure a focused experience and bonding time, parents and carers please make arrangements for other children to be cared for during the performance time. The performance is capped at 12 babies with up to three carers each and is designed such that the babies and their carers sit on the floor in a rough circle while the performers inhabit the space in the centre and occasionally rove between the audience.
