The performance Me and the Flea<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

You’re going to see a performance created by four people: two artists, an actor, and a musician. Together they are Lichtbende. <\/p>

The performance takes place in a dark room. On a screen, you see shadows and light images, called projections. <\/p>

The projections in this show are created using very old devices called magic lanterns. They date back to a time before television, cinema, and film. <\/p>

During the performance, you can see the magic lanterns. They are positioned in front of the screen on which the projections are displayed. <\/p>

Next to the canvas sits the musician. She plays live music that complements the images. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
