HurlyBurly Theatre presents You are the Sun, a love song to nature for 0-2s and their grown-ups that explores the interconnectedness of life on earth.

This beautiful theatrical experience combines the joy of gentle classical singing and sensory play as the audience helps to celebrate the gift of nature by conjuring a world out of breath, water, sunlight, and soil.

With original music and words by HurlyBurly Theatre, this piece offers a completely interactive and inclusive space for the little ones to be themselves and for adults to have a chance to relax and bond, plus there's time for free play afterwards.

It is an invitation to see beauty in the smallest things and to let plants be our guides as we grow.

Reviews

The work is beautiful. The stress is taken from parents as the babies and toddlers are able to explore the space freely if they wish and the performers show such skill and care for their audience

The most beautiful music. Thank you for making it interactive & also involving those children who were nervous to get involved so gently
