Explore your magical future garden where you'll meet a punk poet Dandelion, a rock n roll Minibeast and an operatic super Herb! A Message for the Future is a multi-sensory art installation and gig theatre experience designed for early years (ages 0-3) and family audiences. DIY punk poetry gig theatre parents Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy offer a multi-sensory experience that subverts the early years genre through joyful rock n roll storytelling, celebrating a journey of nature and kindness. This calm pocket of punky joy explores a future full of hope, the wonders of the environment, and its unsung heroes. This experience offers a meditative, immersive, theatrical space in surround sound which explores themes of coexistence with nature and creativity. Combining creativity, community engagement, and artistic innovation, the show nurtures a sense of hopefulness and connection with our little ones and the environment whilst engaging multiple senses - sight, sound, touch, and smell. Commissioned by artsdepot and Southbank Centre's Imagine Festival in 2025 to sold-out audiences, A Message for the Future has already captivated and engaged a wide range of families and communities. Created by Crescendorious with original storytelling and live music by acclaimed Margate gig theatre-makers Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy. Set design and costumes by internationally renowned set designer and concept artist Lo Lo No, who has collaborated with Lady Gaga, Björk and MTV.
