About this event

A dazzling show all about light, featuring colourful demonstrations and engaging experiments. Why is the sky blue? How do rainbows form? And what can bubbles, flames and even chocolate reveal about the science of light? Join the Ri Demo team for colourful science show breaking the boundaries of visible light. We’ll discover how light bends, reflects and scatters into the colours of the rainbow, revealing the science behind familiar sights and extraordinary effects. Packed with demonstrations exploring the remarkable properties of light, you won't have seen anything like this before! Get ready to see everyday phenomena in a whole new light as we uncover the hidden wonders all around us. This is a theatre event for children and adults to enjoy together. We recommend our family talks for children aged 7–13, though they can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. All young people under the age of 13 need to be accompanied by a paying adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.
