‘Why are you always following me?’ Orla asks the Sun. It’s the beginning of a fantastical adventure in which the world transforms in front of her eyes. This joyful musical story, narrated by storyteller Baden Prince, invites children on a journey that dances through a paradise of sun-rays, a forest and a silver pond as Orla discovers that, like all things we love to play with, when the sun eventually does go away she longs for its return.

Orla, like many children, has an endless fascination with the moon. When she asks the moon “who are you?” she begins a playful adventure with her dog Silver as they explore a nighttime world of changing seasons. Featuring lush musical textures from voices, singing bowls and tongue drum, Orla’s Moon invites even the youngest children into a musical story, warmly narrated by actor Cleo Sylvestre.
