Co-produced with Catherine Wheels, in association with Randers Teater

One seed, two men – three lives and a budding beginning.

Two men need to look after a tiny seed; it is their job to nurture this small life and help it blossom. But as every new parent knows, this is no easy task. 

When a sheep wants to nibble its leaves, how do you protect it? 

When techno tracks replace lullabies, how do you accept the change?

And as the seedling becomes a sapling and needs to branch out, how do you let go?

In Time is a playful, gentle, and highly visual show that, through humour and absurdist touches, shares the joys and frustrations of parenting a new life.
