ZOOM – July 27-28
Combining old-school whimsy with state-of-the-art technology, ZOOM is an enchanting story of a child alone in her bedroom, unable to sleep and curious to understand. She begins a transformational journey with light and discovers that the dark is a magical place. Inspired by the iconic children’s book Harold and The Purple Crayon, ZOOM channels the same philosophy – a child who makes sense of their world through art. The show is driven by the power of ‘child logic’, combined with the magic of science.
