Synopsis

A drop falls into the ocean—wondrous and free, with a vast unknown ahead. The still waters are teeming with life: whales call, fishes leap, and new experiences await!

 

Specially designed for pre-walking babies, crawlers and early walkers aged 3 to 15 months, this immersive, non-verbal, theatrical experience explores the magic and mysteries of the ocean. Through music, sounds and movement, babies will engage in a sensory-rich journey that nurtures their imagination and curiosity.

 

First developed by Ian Loy in 2019, in collaboration with Ellison Tan, Myra Loke, and Serene Tan (Stan) under Esplanade’s Theatre for Young Audiences Associate Artist programme, this work is co-produced by The Artground and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay.

 

In December 2024, the production had a work-in-development season at the Sydney Opera House, with six sold-out showcases.

 

Performers: Ian Loy, Ellison Tan, Myra Loke, Chew Shaw En

Sound Design and Live Music: Serene Tan (Stan)

Co-Produced by: The Artground
