/ {about the show}
The Light Walk is a light show for children that brings them closer to the physical facts of light, colors and shapes in an attractive way. The mischievous and sparkling light robot, the main characters of the play, use light as their main means of expression. With the help of light, shape and color, they curiously explore the spaces and objects around them, looking for easy answers to complex questions about light. They also express their opinions and emotions sonically, but not in the form of understandable words, but in their language, which differs in voice color, speed and manner. We accompany the robot on its Escape From Darkness, its journey through the world of shadows into the spectrum of color and light.
Light and darkness have always filled the fantasy world of both children and adults. They are more connected than we imagine, we could say that they give meaning to each other. But they are also relevant in the theater, where theatrical illusion is built on the relationship between the black stage and light. And yet we know so little about light and darkness. How are they formed? Can they be friends and when do they work together?

δ {O predstavi}
Svetlobni potep je svetlobna predstava za otroke, ki jim na privlačen način približa fizikalna dejstva svetlobe, barv in oblik. Hudomušna in iskriva svetlobna robotka, glavna junaka predstave, kot svoje glavno izrazno sredstvo uporabljata svetlobo. S pomočjo svetlobe, oblike in barv radovedno raziskujeta prostore in predmete okoli sebe, iščeta enostavne odgovore na zapletena vprašanja o svetlobi. Svoja mnenja in čustva izražata tudi zvočno, vendar ne v obliki razumljivih besed, temveč v svoji govorici, ki se razlikuje po barvi glasu, hitrosti in načinu. Robotka spremljamo na begu pred temo, potovanju skozi svet senc v spekter barv in svetlobe.
Svetloba in tema od nekdaj polnita domišljijski svet tako otrok kot odraslih. Povezani sta bolj, kot si to predstavljamo, lahko bi rekli, da dajeta smisel ena drugi. Pomembni pa sta tudi v gledališču, kjer se gledališka iluzija gradi na razmerju med črnim odrom in svetlobo. Pa vendar o svetlobi in temi vemo tako malo. Kako nastaneta? Sta lahko prijateljici in kdaj sodelujeta?
