TIME is a playful and warm performance for children and adults about the curious phenomenon of time.

In a space filled with soundscapes and poetic images, we tell stories of train journeys and timetables, butterflies and bicycle races, speed and stillness. And of those moments when you forget time and place – and simply are.

Theatre Madam Bach creates intimate performances that invite children and adults to share the experience together. TIME opens up curious reflections on our relationship with time – including the useless, the slow, and the quiet. In a world that keeps moving faster, the performance offers a breathing space: a pause with room for presence, immersion, and shared wonder.

What do we do with the time we have?
