2025臺北兒童藝術節：《閃閃星》

★ 2022年雪梨戲劇獎（Sydney Theatre Award）最佳兒童製作提名

★在黑暗中發現光明，越暗的地方，你越亮！

這是一趟探索光影與想像力的奇幻旅程，《閃閃星》靈感來自克拉格特．強森（Crockett Johnson）的經典繪本《阿羅有枝彩色筆》（Harold and the Purple Crayon），故事中的小男孩阿羅擁有一枝神奇的紫色蠟筆，透過畫筆創造世界，幫助自己探索未知、解決問題，最終找到回家的路。

如同阿羅用畫筆改變世界，《閃閃星》以光影為核心元素，帶領孩子們進入一個由光與影構成的夢幻世界，並探索其中的奧秘。英文「 Zoom 」不僅象徵光的速度，也代表透視變化──從微小光點到壯觀光影的轉變。故事從小女孩在房間裡發現一顆神秘的光點開始，而冒險隨之展開。光點從小點變成線條，最終發展為動態影像，引領她探索黑暗與光影的變化。

派奇劇團（Patch Theatre）利用 LED 燈、投影和雷射光等技術，創造出如夢似幻的舞台環境。而身為觀眾的你，也能透過互動主動參與，成為舞台的一部分。許多孩子們都怕黑，而這場演出將讓孩子們以新的方式看待光影；認識到黑暗的必要性，並學習如何駕馭它。融合了投影技術、燈光設計與互動體驗，為孩子們帶來沉浸式的劇場體驗。他們不只是觀眾，更是參與者，透過手中的光與演出互動，探索黑暗、發現光明。

導演表示，《閃閃星》擁有 20 個不同的版本，孩子們將會以自己的方式詮釋劇情，賦予它獨特的意義。

★ 2022 Sydney Theatre Award Nominee for Best Production for Children

★ Discover light in the darkness - Shine bright like a diamond!

Embark on a magical journey of light, shadow, and imagination. ZOOOM is inspired by Crockett Johnson’s picture book, Harold and the Purple Crayon, where a young boy named Harold uses a magical crayon to create his world, navigate challenges, and find his way home.

Like Harold’s crayon in the story, ZOOOM uses light and shadow as its core elements, drawing children into a dreamlike universe. "Zoom" symbolizes both the speed of light and shifts in perspective - from a tiny glowing dot to a dazzling display of light and movement. The adventure begins when a young girl discovers a mysterious light in her room. As it transforms from a single dot to moving lines and dynamic images, she embarks on an exploration of darkness and illumination.

Patch Theatre brings this world to life through LED lighting, projections, and lasers, crafting an immersive stage environment. In addition to the enjoyable watching experience, audiences will also become part of the show through interactive elements. Flipping the common fear of the darkness upside down, ZOOOM offers a fresh perspective, showing the beauty of light and the necessity of darkness. Through projections, lighting design, and hands-on participation, children are invited to engage with the performance, using light to explore and illuminate the unknown.

The director notes that ZOOOM does not have a spoken storyline - meaning children will get to interpret the story in their own way, making every performance unique.
