We Cover the Universe

Akin Theatre

Recommended ages: 5 and under

Awaken your imagination with this interactive, sensory and wondrous online show for under-fives, their parents/carers and families. Poetry, drawing and gentle play combine to broaden your horizons.

We first meet Dot when she’s feeling small. She’s stuck in a grey room until, one day, she starts to draw and dream. Plucking up the courage to venture out, she encounters a glorious new world of colour. And learns there’s more to life than she ever thought.

Two friendly performers Rachel Lincoln and Remmie Milner (His Dark Materials: The Subtle Knife) guide you through simple movement and inventive art-making activities on Zoom, showing you how to explore basic household objects for touch and sound. With magical music, vibrant visuals and playful poetry that appeals to children and adults alike, We Cover the Universe takes families on a journey together, wherever they are, transforming items and spaces before their eyes.
