Tea at Six O’Clock is a whimsical contemporary dance performance about tea parties, imagination, and the playful chaos of growing up. Set inside an endlessly repeating tea time where clocks stand still and anything is possible, the work blends acrobatic partnering and absurd humour into a gravity-defying world of floating tables, transforming creatures, and mischievous surprises. Through Kinetic Orchestra’s signature highly physical, non-verbal and theatrical absurdity, the performance invites audiences of all ages to rediscover the childlike wonder hidden within everyday life.

The kettle is boiling, the dishes are in disarray, and the teacups are ready to be sipped. Everything seems completely out of place — and yet, Tea Time is about to begin. A tea party where anything can happen, where the clock never moves past six, and where everyone waits eagerly for the next pour.

Tea at Six O’Clock is a strange, beautiful and inescapable process of growing up. Blending imagination, absurdity, and gravity-defying choreography, the work invites audiences of all ages into a world where play refuses to disappear with adulthood. Here, time stands still: the clock always strikes six, tea is endlessly served, and the party begins again and again.

Inside this alternate reality, tables float, kettles whistle, and dancers transform into curious creatures. Rooms become adventures, furniture becomes playgrounds, and ordinary objects assume lives of their own. As the tea drinkers and tableware continuously rearrange themselves, this seemingly dignified gathering slowly unravels into something increasingly wild, playful, and delightfully unpredictable — reminding us of the childlike imagination still hidden inside everyday life.

Through Kinetic Orchestra’s signature non-verbal, acrobatic partnering and absurd theatrical commentary merge with humour and finesse, creating a mind-bending world filled with surprise, chaos, and wonder.
