WOW TIME SHOW is travelling across London and beyond this June 🧶🧵🎭

Created from our lived experiences as migrants, parents, and carers, this project grew from a desire to build connection, belonging, and shared experiences while raising children between cultures.

WOW TIME SHOW — a calm and sensory theatre experience designed especially for babies and young children (0–5), alongside their parents, grandparents, and carers.

It’s more than a show.
It’s a space to pause, connect, explore, and enjoy meaningful moments together.

We truly believe that creative experiences in early childhood are incredibly important. Through art, children begin to develop imagination, confidence, emotional awareness, and curiosity about the world around them. Every child deserves welcoming spaces filled with creativity, gentleness, and care.

This June, we’re delighted to bring WOW TIME SHOW to libraries across London and the UK — and we’re looking forward to meeting so many wonderful families along the way.

📍 TOUR DATES — JUNE 2026

• June 5 — Peckham Library

• June 6 — Kilburn Library (Brent)

• June 10 — Ipswich County Library

• June 11 — Canada Water Library

• June 12 — Battersea Library

• June 13 — Woolwich Centre Library

• June 26 — Idea Store Whitechapel

Please check with your local library and their website for registration and booking details.

We’re also excited to bring the WOW TIME SHOW programme to nurseries and primary schools this June, continuing this growing journey together with our amazing partners.

WOW TIME SHOW is going on tour across London & beyond this June

This project was born from our own experiences as migrants, parents, and carers; learning how to create belonging, connection, and joyful moments while raising children between cultures.

From these experiences, WOW TIME SHOW was created:
a gentle, sensory theatre experience for babies and young children (0–5), together with their parents, grandparents, and carers.

More than a performance, it’s an invitation to slow down, connect, and share meaningful moments together.

We believe that art for very young children matters deeply. These early experiences help shape imagination, emotional connection, curiosity, and confidence — and every child deserves spaces filled with warmth, creativity, and care.

This June, we’re so excited to bring WOW TIME SHOW to libraries across London and the UK, and we can’t wait to meet you there

La anul și la mulți ani! 2026

The Bobinarium Show
2018-2020
🧵🧶🎭

La Mulți Ani!

Anul 2018 a fost unul bogat pentru noi, cu invitați din Germania, România, Ucraina, care au susținut Workshopuri și Ateliere.

Am dat start noului compartiment: Laborator de Teatru, (ediția I - scenografie).

La începutul anului am început repetițiile la primul spectacol pentru bebeluși, primul pentru noi și primul în Republica Moldova. Iar la sfârșitul anului am lansat Premiera acestui spectacol extraordinar: The Bobinarium Show!

Pe parcursul lunii Decembrie am jucat în fiecare Weekend. Am prezentat public, până acum, 23 de spectacole + 2 avanpremiere pentru 559 de spectatori, dintre care 286 copii!
Am jucat în spații diferite: Centre de Educație / de Dezvolare pentru Copii, Centre Maternale / de Plasament, și suntem mai mult decât mulțumiți atât de lucrarea noastră, cât și de impactul ei asupra spectatorilor.

Spectacolul Bobinarium, indiscutabil un eveniment care a schimbat percepția spectatorului asupra felului în care a fost văzut până acum teatrul pentru copii, părinți/bunici.

Și pentru 2019 pregătim evenimente frumoase!
Urmează lansarea unei antologii cu piese contemporane moldovenești, coordonată de Inna Cebotari, 2 premiere, workshopuri, simpozioane și multe altele - importante!

Mulțumim mult tuturor celor care au fost alături de noi și ne-au susținut în anul 2018!
Datorită vouă ne-au reușit toate!

Vă urăm un an nou fericit!
La Mulți Ani și pace în întreaga lume!

Cu stimă,

Review of Dad Is Not My Friend by Inna Cebotari

A refreshingly original take on digital identity, migration, and family control

"Dad Is Not My Friend delves into the lives of three young people navigating the tension between honoring their migrant parents’ traditions and embracing the cultural reality of the country they were born into. At the heart of their journey is an enigmatic AI, a digital force with the power to shape, surveil, and manipulate their lives. The parallel between this artificial intelligence and the authoritarian grip of their families is striking, revealing how control — whether familial or technological — often stems from fear, love, and a desire for a better future.

The show is fresh, contemporary, and deeply insightful. It blends humour, music, and audience interaction to explore complex questions that our society isn’t grappling with enough, particularly the ethical, emotional, and political implications of artificial intelligence. The play doesn’t just use tech as a backdrop; it interrogates it. What happens when the tools meant to liberate us start to resemble the very forces that constrain us?

The musical elements are a standout — open-hearted and carefully executed, they provide both emotional release and moments of joy. The cast is immensely talented, moving effortlessly between comedy, song, and intimate monologue. Their performances are layered and sincere, giving voice to the tensions of modern identity, digital dependence, and intergenerational misunderstanding.

Importantly, the show also touches on how digital transformation doesn’t affect everyone equally. It subtly but powerfully draws attention to the intersections of race, class, and power in our relationship with technology. That social critique adds weight to the play’s already rich narrative.

The open-ended conclusion leaves room for interpretation — a bold and effective choice. It encourages the audience to imagine their own resolutions, making the performance linger in the mind long after the final scene.

Dad Is Not My Friend is not just a play — it’s a mirror. It asks us to examine the systems that shape us, from the homes we grow up in to the algorithms that now guide our lives. Thought-provoking, inventive, and emotionally resonant, it’s a standout piece of contemporary theatre."
