‘KaleidoAct – Underwater Mirage’ is the first deep sea inspired object/movement theatre show performed in a giant kaleidoscope.
The show fuses optical illusion, puppetry, light and shadow casting, movement and music in a kaleidoscopic vision. It is a dynamic sensory experience that plays with the viewers’ perception of space, sense of illusion and reality.
The underwater concept and design has been inspired by shapes and movement of kaleidoscopic deep sea creatures, Art Nouveau drawings of kaleidoscopic
species by scientist, artist Ernst Haeckel, as well as art forms and bioluminescence found in marine environment.
Engaging spectators of all ages, KaleidoAct has a non-literal approach to
performance that celebrates the abstract beauty in motion and challenges the
traditional visual experience of the kaleidoscopic. KaleidoAct is enhanced with LIVE atmospheric electronic/noise music.
The Moulin aux Chimeres (F) artists’ collective is devoted to bringing
audiences innovative and unique experiences by interweaving performance,
design, craft and sound – accessible to all
The collective’s trademark performing equipment, a giant kaleidoscope, has
been providing a platform for open ended visual experimentation since 2002.
