The Visitors

The world was once a very small place, people knew only their nearest neighbours, and it took hours, sometimes days, to get to the nearest town. Today we know all the continents and we know that we live together on the third planet of the solar system. We fly to the stars, we observe distant galaxies, but have we really got to know all the inhabitants of our planet and treat them with respect?
The glow-in-the-dark puppets of marine animals are nocturnal creatures - they are inconspicuous in daylight and only in the dark do they shine in all their glory. They are graceful in movement with their puppeteer and sublime as they wait quietly in their ornate stands.
Pause for a moment and be transported to the depths of the ocean, so deep that the whales sing...

This unique theatre installation connects the world of theatre and visual arts with modern technology. The luminous inhabitants of the underwater world are lit up by 6.5 km of optical fibre and 3,500 addressable LED lights.

Visitors are a project with large luminous puppets from the V.O.S.A. workshop. Theatre, Blackout Paradox and LightLab.
