★ 2022 Sydney Theatre Award Nominee for Best Production for Children
★ Discover light in the darkness - Shine bright like a diamond!
Embark on a magical journey of light, shadow, and imagination. ZOOOM is inspired by Crockett Johnson’s picture book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, where a young boy named Harold uses a magical crayon to create his world, navigate challenges, and find his way home.
Like Harold’s crayon in the story, ZOOOM uses light and shadow as its core elements, drawing children into a dreamlike universe. "Zoom" symbolizes both the speed of light and shifts in perspective - from a tiny glowing dot to a dazzling display of light and movement. The adventure begins when a young girl discovers a mysterious light in her room. As it transforms from a single dot to moving lines and dynamic images, she embarks on an exploration of darkness and illumination.
Patch Theatre brings this world to life through LED lighting, projections, and lasers, crafting an immersive stage environment. In addition to the enjoyable watching experience, audiences will also become part of the show through interactive elements. Flipping the common fear of the darkness upside down, ZOOOM offers a fresh perspective, showing the beauty of light and the necessity of darkness. Through projections, lighting design, and hands-on participation, children are invited to engage with the performance, using light to explore and illuminate the unknown.
The director notes that ZOOOM does not have a spoken storyline - meaning children will get to interpret the story in their own way, making every performance unique.
