An immersive moonlit performance for babies (5–18 months) and their grown-ups
Harvest Moon is a gentle, sensory performance celebrating the journey of growing up — and the ever-changing bond between parent and child.
Blending live traditional Gaelic song, harp and percussion with immersive design and poetic movement, the piece travels through the phases of the moon: from the wonder of babyhood, through playful toddler years and stormy adolescence, to a reflective full moon moment of release.
Inspired by Gaelic lullabies, working songs and seasonal rituals, Harvest Moon unfolds within a soft, atmospheric environment where babies sit close to the performers, creating a shared experience of closeness and wonder.
After each performance, the space transforms into a sensory playground for exploration and play.
