"One little girl said in awe 'it’s truly magical'. She was correct."
Tube toured UK venues in 2013 and 2014, and was part of the Abu Dhabi Festival 2014.
Watch as Oily Cart transform the tube into a feast for the senses, created for babies aged 6 months – 2 years. We’ll conjure up a tactile wonderland from a fabulous variety of tubes – tubes filled with sound, tubes that puff out gentle breezes, and tubes glistening with kaleidoscopic colours – to delight and entrance our young audience.

"Creating trust and confidence is important, as Oily Cart Director Tim Webb is well aware. So, in its sensory world of colour, sound and smells, Tube encourages young children both as individuals and part of a social organism."
