Audience feedback

"Entering an Oily Cart production is like entering a different world, and it’s one every child should experience."
Children's Theatre Reviews

Light Show toured to specialist schools and arts venues across the UK in Autumn 2015 and Spring / Summer 2016. It played at Lincoln Center’s Big Umbrella Festival in New York in 2018.

About Light Show

Oily Cart invites you into a magical paper palace, where the sensory delights of nature unfold to provide the audience with a fully immersive experience.

Creating distinct silhouettes, in an exquisite play of light and shadow, a serene papery white landscape transitions from a beautiful warm day at the beach to a dreamy moonlit wonderland. The show takes participants on a multi-sensory journey of textures, smells and tactile experiences, all accompanied by enchanting live music from a virtuoso double bass player. 

Light Show is for 3-11 year olds and comes in two distinct versions: for Autistic children and for disabled children who experience the most barriers to access (sometimes labelled as having profound and multiple learning disabilities).
