A lost star finds its way home
Combining state-of-the-art technology with a touch of whimsy, ZOOOM is an enchanting story about a pixel of light that falls into a child’s room. Children become part of the show using a light they are given as they enter. With the audience’s help, the girl embarks on an adventure with light and discovers that the dark is a magical place. Inspired by the classic children’s book Harold and The Purple Crayon, ZOOOM uses original music, lasers and projections to take the audience on an immersive shared journey. Kids (and parents) will love this playful, interactive show where light is used to solve problems and build worlds. Watch the video below.
Audiences are invited to bring a ‘piece of dark’ to the show in exchange for a piece of light. Pieces of dark range from coloured-in pieces of paper to blacked out boxes and fabric or invisible ‘pieces’. These will be collected by our Keepers prior to the show in the foyer or at the entrance to the theatre.
