LIVE IN VENUE TOUR
Half Moon presents a Daniel Naddafy production for 0-18 months
A gentle, sparkling and immersive multi-sensory experience
Come in, relax, find a space and settle.
Slowly, a shimmering surface emerges.
What does it look like?
How does it move?
Listen, what can you hear?
Welcome to a world of shiny things.
Welcome to Glisten!
Glisten is an interactive performance for babies aged 0-18 months and their grown-ups. The audience are taken on a sparkling and shimmering immersive journey exploring the world of reflective materials, wrapped up in an ambient soundscape of evocative yet laid-back music. Watch as the empty space of the theatre fills with colour, sounds and surprises, creating a sensory landscape ready to explore after the performance is over.
The perfect alternative family Christmas experience, Glisten is performed to a small audience creating an intimate and welcoming theatrical experience, beautifully co-created by theatre-maker Daniel Naddafy and visual artist Phoebe Stubbs.
This is a special version of the play that toured nationally in 2019 for the festive season.
There are a range of photos for this production and the post-performance stay and play session available to view at the following:

Performances last 20 minutes (no interval), followed by an interactive free-play session where the babies can explore the tactile world of Glisten.
Due to the intimate nature of the production, it is designed for audiences of up to 40 (children and adults).
“Every glimmer and glint of light is transfixing… Though the immersive environment changes over time, Naddafy’s performance remains entrancing.”
