Designed as a first theatre experience for little ones, the palette is playful and saturated, with patterns and movement used as gentle cues rather than spectacle. The lighting supports performers while creating a multi-sensory “night sky” for babies and caregivers to inhabit. The approach draws on research into infant perception and musical entrainment with the creative team, so colour, rhythm and hush work together.
