The Baby Castle

The Baby Castle [Babyborgen] – a Bastion of Softness

Welcome to The Baby Castle – a sensory and soothing installation performance created especially for babies aged 0–15 months and their grown-ups. Together, you are invited to crawl into a soft and ever-changing world, where body, sound, and light merge into a calm and curious universe.

The Baby Castle is a gentle, responsive structure bathed in video projections and surrounded by a carefully crafted soundscape by musician Rumpistol. Two performers gently guide you through shifts in atmosphere and space, and you decide how long you’d like to stay.

This is a free space with no fixed seats or expectations – you may come and go, move freely, and be present at your own pace. Here, children and adults can share an experience where the world is explored from new angles, close to the floor – and close to each other.

Experience a choreographed pause from the busyness of everyday life.

The performance is a 2-hour sensory experience that allows you to arrive and leave (and return) according to your child’s rhythm and needs. It is recommended to spend approximately 45 minutes in the room, but you are welcome to stay longer or shorter. There is a maximum capacity for how many people can be in the room at the same time, so there may be some waiting time (it is possible to stay in the baby lounge while waiting).
