ROCK ME BABY (NO)
Roskilde is obviously the perfect town for a glamrock show for toddlers!
Rock Me Baby is a colourful and energetic show created for children aged 0-5 and their adults, where the audience is drawn into a sensory rock universe with live music, humour, and movement. Five performers step forward as a band and invite the audience into a playful theatrical space with glittering costumes, electric energy, and poetic moments.
The show draws inspiration from 70s and 80s rock, with everything from catchy pop to heavy guitar riffs – all performed live and with the youngest audience members in mind. In a safe environment and with adjusted sound levels, both young and old senses are awakened, and there is room for curiosity, calm, and laughter.
The performance challenges what we think children can experience and reminds us that good art can also be wild, crazy, and loud – even for the littlest ones.
