Bathe in sound and light with your baby as you explore the wonders of how their senses develop. Sit, lie down or stand while sharing this immersive, intimate

experience.

First Light is an immersive, intimate experience that explores the wonders of our sensory development in early childhood.

Inspired by baby lab research into the expanding vision of babies from birth until 18 months, this 15-minute installation distills the world of awakening perception into a unique show. Real-life soundscapes harmonies and echo a newborn’s hearing as lights twinkle and colour slowly fills the world.

Co-created by theatre-maker Daniel Naddafy, and artist & lighting designer Marty Langthorne, First Light is designed to be enjoyed by babies aged 0-18 months and their families. 

First Light was first presented and co-commissioned by the Barbican in 2021 and developed with support from Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts and Half Moon Theatre.

For babies 0-18 months and their families
