In time

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

One day, two tree-keepers receive a small seed that they have to plant and care for during its growth. But taking care of something so frail and new is no easy task. So begins ‘In time’, a story gently animating the simplicity and complexity of life for children and adults alike.

The two tree-keepers have to feel their way in their new roles and everyday life, whose small tasks and many routines bring about plenty of big emotions and important moments. And how does one measure well-being and progress? By centimetres? By number of leaves?

The story revolves around a tall and marvellous wooden furniture cabinet with numerous hidden drawers and cupboards full of objects that fit right into our everyday chores. In a universe both material, cosy and magical, the familiar and the unusual go hand in hand.

“In time” is something quite unusual – a completely quiet, thought-provoking performance for 3-7-year-olds, with a quirky universe that’s highly captivating for adults too. It has room for thought, spontaneous laughter and a constant curiosity about the contents of the next drawer.”
