Laterna magika: film images and live performance

A project inspired by original Laterna magika productions, blending together film images and live performance. It makes use of the current video mapping from several projectors placed in different spots.

The visual composition draws upon the motive of the “cube”, in all kinds of possible variations that surround us: houses, urban structures, building materials, pavements, dice, ice and sugar cubes… Owing to its structure and the potentialities provided by 3D visualisation, the Rubik’s Cube will represent one of the main motives.

By means of a very simple basic scenography and detailed, accurately focused projection, it is possible to markedly change its perspective, movement and surface, thus affecting the overall space, dynamism and time. A modern and precise choreography boosts the film illusion and, vice versa, the film illusion supports the performer’s movement on the stage.

Our experience:

We thoroughly enjoyed the fully packed 60-minute performance. See one part of the world: the world of structure we live in. Synchronized body movements. Fantastic music. Great sound. Great visuals. Great work. Loved it.

Laterna magika - The New Stage of National Theatre, a world famous nonverbal multimedia theatre in Prague

Legendary project of Laterna magika is a Czech-unique, a show combining elements of film and live acting performances.

Classical principles of non-verbal theatre mingle with dance, film images and black light theatre. The audience is drawn into the story by a panoramically projected image, and fantastic scenes surpass the boundaries between fantasy and reality.

Enjoy the journey to the fantastic world of the Laterna magika, a synthesis of pantomime, dance, music, film and black light theatre.

The building of the New Stage of National Theatre, built in 1983, was tailored to the specific requirements of Laterna magika performances. The unconventional edifice, covered by over four thousand pieces of glass tiles, was designed by Karel Prager.

The diversely shaped glass tiles, created by Stanislav Libenský, form a distinctive relief which gives the New Stage its characteristic appearance. This unique use of glass makes the whole building an original sculptural work of art.
