POUFFF 2012

 

Lighttheatre using magic lanterns and wind instruments

 

 

The 40-minute show opens with the shadow projection of a graceful tree where two birds breed. The story begins with the sun rising and the birth of Poufff, a young bird that grows up as an orphan followed by a breathtaking, exciting, poetic and funny search for his kind.

 

The performance Poufff of Lichtbende is a very special encounter with rarely seen projections combined with live sounds and music. The audience will immediately be fascinated by the projections and music and dragged into a fantastic and wordless world of surprising and enigmatic images.
 

Tiny objects come to life as impressively large light images. With old magic lanterns this secret world is projected onto a billowing screen. 

The music breathes life into the characters and outlines their emotions. You will hear: clarinet, flute,  tuba, trombone, street organ and homemade instruments, played live.

The performers are in full view so you can see how everything, including the music, is created, which is a large part of the whole experience, where dream worlds and reality mix

 

Poufff is an exciting performance for all ages, from 4 to 104 years.

Performance time: 40 minutes (no spoken words).

Afterwards there is a short demonstration of how the magic lantern works.
