ZOOOM by Patch Theatre


  • Arts Centre Melbourne (map)

This January school holidays, embark on a dreamlike adventure!

Unable to sleep, a child goes on an imaginary journey throughout the universe to help a lost star find its way home.

Inspired by the children’s classic Harold and the Purple Crayon - about a child who makes sense of their world through art - ZOOOM is an interactive, award-winning show which brings the audience along for the ride!

Children are invited to “bring a piece of dark” from home, which on arrival is exchanged for their own personal light – a little spark that will keep them safe and guide them through the performance.

Celebrating creativity, courage and the magic of dreams, ZOOOM will enchant with original music, magical lasers and vivid projections.

School holidays summer fun, recommended for ages 4 to 8
