'A theatre experience of tenderness and comfort, for babies to the elderly, disabled children and their siblings to enjoy together.'

The moon is a speck in the night sky. It continues to travel around the world, changing its shape and sometimes even its colour. This is a celebration of life in which we share the stories of the moon's encounters with each other. It's an inclusive and immersive theatre experience for children with disabilities or medical needs and their families, where they can relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about their surroundings, thanks to the limited audience size. Whether they are blind, deaf, unable to move as much as they would like or a little too energetic, the artists will work with the various senses and stimulate each child's sense of wonder, while staying close to them. Both siblings and babies, fathers and mothers, grandparents and grandparents are invited to enjoy the show.

A message from the artists

"As is typical of the multi-sensory theatre 'Sensory Theatre', the company members are always looking for objects of interest and wonder to children, no matter what they are doing or where they are. In the rehearsal room, they continue to experiment with object after object. It may look like they are just playing with the objects, but the magic is in the way the objects are transformed into an enjoyable performance with the help of the audience. I continue to be fascinated by that magic."
