CHLOE AND THE COLOUR CATCHER Will Embark on UK Tour

Chloe lives in a world with only one colour, a world that is completely grey. But at night, when she's wrapped up tight, her dreams are colourful and bright. Transforming stages around the UK into a vibrant world of colour and rhyme, join Chloe on her courageous journey to unleash all seven shades of the rainbow in this extraordinary and wholly original tale of bravery, self-expression and fighting for what your heart knows to be true. Ad Infinitum's first full length show for children, Chloe and the Colour Catcher is a call to arms for young activists and future world-changers to speak out against what's wrong and to celebrate their differences.

Chloe and the Colour Catcher premiered at Bristol Old Vic in 2018, and will tour venues up and down the country including a weeklong run at the Lyric Hammersmith over Easter.

In a dull and grey world, Chloe dreams in colour. Unable to contain her imaginative thoughts, Chloe tells of the vast blue seas, lush green jungly-trees and golden yellow sands she's seen. But, hushed at once by her parents, Chloe is warned to keep such thoughts at bay - for Her Greynesty The Colour Catcher is out to wash all trace of colour away.

Nir Paldi said of Chloe and the Colour Catcher "We are all born into an environment that is not of our choosing. An environment that then becomes all we know to be true. Some of us fit perfectly into the reality we were born into. Others question the world around them and challenge it with curiosity. Chloe is one of those who questions. She wants to understand how she can make the world around her fairer. I hope you find young Chloe inspiring in her curiosity and fighting spirit, as she embarks on a battle for endless diversity, freedom, originality and imagination."
