What would happen if light wanted to come alive and people wanted to lighten up?

Five multi-talented performers use puppetry, mime and dance to take you on a journey of discovery about light in this dazzling new production.

By exploring various light sources – including rope lights, fibre optics and theatre lighting – puppets are created, fabric paints the air with colour and lights develop their own personalities.

This exhilarating and innovative production radiates with energy and playfulness and is accompanied by a wonderfully rhythmic soundscape.

Theatre-Rites (Hospitalworks, Mischief) is one of the UK’s most renowned theatre companies and create magical theatre for children and adults to share. Their innovative approach always produces productions that stir the imagination and stimulate thought.

“ Theatre-Rites is one of those companies that have transformed children’s theatre” The Guardian

“ Should leave you feeling stimulated, rib-tickled, lighter than when you walked in and glad to be alive” The Times - 5 Stars (on Mischief 2007)
