Inspired by the iconic children’s book Harold and The Purple Crayon, ZOOOM is a story about a child who makes sense of their world through art with music, lasers and projections for a heartfelt and immersive performance.

ZOOOM begins at home or in the classroom, as we invite our audience to “bring a piece of dark*” to the show. Upon arrival, their dark is exchanged for their own personal light – a little spark that will keep them safe and guide them through the interactive performance.

* Examples of dark include:

Colour in a small piece of paper black
Capture some darkness in a small box and tape it shut
Paint the inside of a small jar black and close the lid
Make creatures that can see in the dark: bats, owls etc.
Make telescopes that look at the dark
Find a small piece of dark material
