4d art - Norman
approx 90 mins
Scottish-born Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren (1914-87) was one of the most inventive abstract animators of the 20th century. Now a mesmerising new show from mixed media masters Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon(aka lemieux.pilon 4d art) brings the genius of Norman McLaren to life in a magical fusion of state-of-the-art virtual projection and live theatre.
In an improbable act of theatrical alchemy, dancer/choreographer Peter Trosztmer literally inhabits McLaren's cinematic universe. He dances, weaves, converses and interacts with the animator's pulsing images and leaping figures, set loose in a riotous ballet of line, light and movement.
Witness a miracle of theatre as a creative legend is reborn in this witty, playful and impossibly inventive one-man tour de force.
