Book NowAbout the show
24 Solar Terms is a children's physical theatre show by QFunTheater, a student and youth company. The production traces the growth of a child from birth through the lens of the 24 solar terms — the ancient Chinese system that divides the year into segments reflecting nature's rhythms and the wisdom of the agricultural calendar. Placing a child's journey within these 24 solar terms, the show reflects a distinctly Chinese sense of time, space and aesthetics. The show runs for 50 minutes at Forest Theatre and tickets are £10, with a concession also available. Suitable for ages 3 and over.
Why see this show?
A beautifully conceived piece of physical theatre from a children's company, rooting the universal story of growing up in the distinctly Chinese tradition of the 24 solar terms. Thoughtful, imaginative and open to participation, it is a genuine rarity at the Fringe.
