Part of BEAM Family Fest, Sat 26 - Sun 27 Sep: Our much-loved Family Festival is back, bringing a packed programme of fun, creativity, and discovery for all ages. From singalong screenings, interactive stage events and workshops to free activities popping up across the venue - there’s something around every corner to enjoy! Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
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 Xander Lo Lo No, who has collaborated with Lady Gaga, Björk and MTV.
