Delving into the magical time before sleep when the imagination can take hold, Upswing encourages us to take time out from our busy lives and explore the importance of the connection between carers and children, work-life and family-life in a show that combines theatre, circus, dance and 3D animation. Audiences are tucked up into beds around the stage with their families and friends for an immersive adventure. It's bedtime and a little girl is getting ready for sleep. Her mum starts to tell her a bedtime story but work pressures take her away. Our young heroine is going to rescue her with the help of her imaginary friend Three, going on an adventurous journey through unknown and magical places.
