A NEW theatre show coming to South Street next week has a special audience in mind – babies aged 18 months and younger.
Glisten is an interactive performance that will be a magical adventure just in time for the start of the festive season.
The audience will be taken on a sparkling and shimmering immersive journey exploring the world of reflective materials, all wrapped up in an ambient soundscape of evocative yet laid-back music.
Organisers say people can watch as the empty space of the theatre fills with colour, sounds and surprises, creating a sensory landscape ready to explore after the 20-minute performance is over.
Glisten is performed to a small audience of up to 20 adults with their babies, creating an intimate and welcoming theatrical event, co-created by theatre-maker Daniel Naddafy and visual artist Phoebe Stubbs.
After the show, there is an interactive free-play session where the babies can explore the tactile world of Glisten.
It takes place on Thursday, December 8, Friday, December 9, and Saturday, December 10, with performances at 11am, 1pm and 2.30pm. Tickets cost £15 for an adult with a baby, and £10 for an additional adult in the group.
