“Baby Theater”

TVYA, Theater for Very Young Audiences is a relatively new genre. Babies have long been present, welcomed, or tolerated, in some performance environments. But theater pieces intentionally crafted specifically for them and their adults is a fresh and refreshing approach.

A Forest of Dreams

The setting in Hello Babies is a forest of dreams, inhabited by frogs, butterflies, rainbow bugs, and us. We meander through a space without words or narrative, in a world of sounds and imagery. The movements of the creatures and the flow of the play are expressed with the sound effects of musical instruments. As with other Grego Musical Puppets programs, it’s a collaboration between puppets and instruments. The audience being part of the show fosters improvisation and playful interaction. When unsure how to react, babies will check Mama’s face for clues, and giggle with delight, or find the courage to play. It’s all an adventure in relaxing stimulation, and an exercise in empathy for humans large and small.

　How & Why

This period in the lives of children and parents is so incredibly brief and precious, we’re delighted to be able to share a bit of it with you. The mood is soft and gentle, full of discovery, sparkling joy, and gratitude for being born into this world. We are enveloped in a warmth beyond words. Spontaneous emotional movements that can only be invoked here and now find expression on a live stage, yet can echo in forever memories. And to mothers and fathers who treasure permission to relax, however briefly, we hope you will forget your dizzying daily routine, and allow yourself to enjoy a different world with your child. Take a breath of fresh air in this unique performance environment, and take home an experience that only this moment offers.

The mood-making is palpable as you enter the room. Safe and sweet, the atmosphere welcomes and invites. Before the show ,yet t has already begun. Once started, the stage performance meanders through about twenty minutes of shorts segments, easy for any attention span. After that all are invited to join the performers in play a half hour of play time.
