THE MAGIC OF SPECTACULAR THEATER
(2012)
The MAGIC OF SPECTACULAR THEATER project holds on an experimental approach of anthropology in an attempt to unfold, using performance, illusionism and pop music, the notion of magic.
Conceived as a distanced ceremony, a haunted conference or a theoretical concert, THE MAGIC OF SPECTACULAR THEATER is a lo-fi celebration of the extra-ordinary attempting to simultaneously observe the ghostly aspects of spectacle and highlight the place of wonder in a world shared between evidence and invisibility.
