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 gentle and immersive journey that explored the world of reflective materials wrapped up in a soundscape of evocative yet laid-back music. Audiences watch as the empty space of the theatre is filled with colour, sounds and surprises, creating a sensory landscape ready to explore after the performance was over.

Glisten is performed to a small audience creating an intimate and unique theatrical experience, stunningly co-created by theatre-maker Daniel Naddafy and visual artist Phoebe Stubbs.

Glisten initially toured nationally from 9 February to 31 March 2018 as part of Half Moon Presents. The production has continued to tour for short periods into 2022.
