‘Can a vivid imagination be a substitute for real loss?’

In a family that is shrinking and a world that is growing bigger, three precocious children attempt to carve out a unique space for themselves and the memory of their parents.

‘Crocosmia’ is an explosion of fast-paced, visual storytelling following the Brackenberg siblings and their attempts to make sense of the world through cake puppetry, romantic slide shows, and ingenious bulb experiments, all backed by their parents' vintage record collection.

Little Bulb Theatre is an award-winning national touring company based in the South East of England. They are committed to developing devised and physical theatre performances which explore and illuminate the minute human details which, in a world so big, are easily swallowed up. Combining innovative puppetry with high energy ensemble storytelling alongside beautiful imagery and homemade music, they aspire to create performances that with humour and sadness will touch, startle and entertain.
