Welcome to this great, big, tiny world. It may be very old, but for us it’s brand new.
Settle in amongst hundreds of real plants, to watch, hear and feel the world come to life all around you. Here we’re all a connected ecosystem, where the magic happens somewhere between us.
Filled with beautiful sounds, scents, music, shadows and sensory objects, even the tiniest things play an important part. The world is different, now you are here.
Created by internationally acclaimed sensory theatre company Oily Cart, especially for babies aged 0-12 months and their adults.
"Utter sorcery... an exceptional, joyfully sensory experience for babies" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything Theatre
Inspired by When the World Turns, a collaboration between Oily Cart (UK) and Polyglot Theatre (AUS)
Ripple Festival 2025

About Oily Cart
For over 40 years, Oily Cart has been creating remarkable, accessible shows that connect with babies, children and young people, and their families. In this time we have pioneered a whole new artform: Sensory Theatre. By pushing theatre beyond words – using not just 5, but all 33 senses – we create immersive wonderlands that never tell children how they should watch theatre, but learn from them what theatre should be. An Oily Cart show can happen in your local theatre, hydrotherapy pool or school hall; on a trampoline or online; at home or even up in the air.
