toooB at Z-arts, Manchester 5 March 2023 Tickets from £9.00 — Book now

This spring it’s time to meet the curious and friendly shapeshifting creature toooB at Z-arts, Manchester, in this wordless yet spectacular performance for little ones aged 6 to 25 months old and their grown-ups.

Taking place on 5 March 2023, this unique production tells the heartwarming story of the strange but mesmerising toooB, who has just landed on Planet Earth.

toooB is not quite sure what’s going on – she doesn’t know anything about this strange place she’s landed on, or even who she is. But as toooB explores the fascinating new world around her, it doesn’t take long for her to discover what’s going on and how things work. And as toooB settles in, she begins to invent all sorts of fun games to play, packed with fun, curiosity and joy.

toooB at Z-arts brings to the stage an uplifting and magical adventure, with the performer of toooB presented in a giant caterpillar-like tunnel creation. The audience will be watching in awe as toooB manipulates the tunnel that surrounds her until she eventually emerges, inviting the audience to interact and immerse themselves in dance and music.

Featuring an original soundtrack and ongoing captivating movement, toooB at Z-arts is an ideal introduction to theatre and dance for little ones. And you don’t have to hurry off after the show either as there’s a stay-and-play session at Z-arts with the performer.

The total running time of toooB, including stay-and-play is 50 minutes; just the right amount of time to entertain your child in between their naps and keep them hooked from start to finish.

For a marvellous adventure with the most wonderful, out-of-this-world creature, book your tickets through the link below.
