Step into the wonderfully curious world of White, where birdhouses glow, birds sing, and everything sparkles in shades of white. An original production by Catherine Wheels Theatre Company, and reimagined in a Singapore version by The Artground, White is a playful and visually enchanting theatre experience for young children.
Two friends work hard to care for the birds and protect their precious eggs. Their world feels neat, bright, and perfectly white... until something unexpected begins to appear high up in the trees. First a curious green, then a bold red, and before you know it, a bright burst of sunny yellow. As colours slowly spill into their world, surprises, mischief, and wonder unfold.
Filled with humour, music, and delightful visual storytelling, White invites children to watch, wonder, and participate in a gentle adventure about curiousity, change, and discovering beauty in the unexpected.
Perfect as a first theatre experience, White is a joyful sensory journey for children aged 3 to 6 and their grown-ups.
Catherine Wheels Theatre Company is Scotland’s most prolific producer of work for children and young people, with 30 inspirational and original productions presented in 25 countries since the company was created by Artistic Director Gill Robertson in 1999.
