Half Moon presents a Lots of Odds Theatre production
Paper Aeroplane is being presented as an ‘as live’ performance for digital broadcast, as part of Half Moon’s digital performance platform.
Take flight with two new friends as they soar through clouds, fly over distant seas and circle faraway lands. They touch down in mysterious new places and discover oceans to swim in, rocks to clamber over and bridges to cross. But where will they fly to next?
Lift-off on a journey full of music, physicality and zooming paper aeroplanes, where sometimes the skies are not as clear as we first think.
Developed with children who have shared their experiences of losing loved ones, Paper Aeroplane sensitively explores loss and bereavement, the challenges we face when trying to move on, and how we can help one another along the way.
Paper Aeroplane is Lots of Odds’ brand new show for children, following the highly popular The Goose Who Flew.

For audiences to view at home via an online streaming platform, at a time that suits them:
Paper Aeroplane will be made available on a password protected Vimeo link, which will need to be passed onto bookers (link and password). The play has closed captioning for d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences.
Alternatively, the shows can be embedded onto the venue’s website and the page link sent to bookers. Audiences will still need to enter the password to access the video. This will be available for your audiences to view for 14 days following the date of the last programmed online show. After this time the video will no longer be available to watch as the password will expire. Venues will not be sent a digital file of the booked show to download.
For a live screening or at a specific date and time online experience:
Venues will be released the full MP4 file so that a venue can play it through their own playback or cinema system. Captions will be sent as a separate SRT file for you to upload to your platform. This is for 1 day (2 showings are permitted per day). Venues are required to delete the MP4 file after use and not distribute to anyone else.

“The performance handles grief and loss in childhood in a thoughtful way that somehow manages to be playful.”
“A warm and tender show.”
