In time

One tree, two men – three lives and a burgeoning beginning!

Taking care of a new life can be a big task. One day, two tree-keepers experience this firsthand as they receive a little seed, which they have to plant and care for during its growth.
They both embark on the task with a lot of empathy and childlike stubbornness. In humorous ways, a slight rivalry emerges between them, branching off from the little everyday chores to the rearing of the tree.

As is well known, one needs some loving opposition in order to grow strong roots. No doubt can be sown about their genunine care for the tree, which is slowly growing from root to twig, and getting bigger and stronger. For what is more nurturing than the care we take of each other and nature?

Claus and Andy are both two long time collaborators of ours, co-creaters of shows like Night Light and Goodbye Mr. Muffin.  We are delighted to be working together again, combining their creative minds and great acting with Teater Refleksion’s special dedication to animating objects and visually whole performances.

Created by Teater Refleksion, Andy Manley and De Røde Heste, co-produced with Catherine Wheels, in association with Randers Teater.
The production is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation, Creative Scotland, Lemvigh-Müller Fonden, Louis-Hansen Fonden, NRGI Fonden, C.A.C. Fonden.

“In time / Med tiden” is something so rare, as a completely quiet, thought-provoking performance for 3-7 year olds, which also captivates adults with its quirky universe. The show offers room for reflection, for spontaneous laughter and for a constant curiosity about what the next drawer hides.
