Moving Shadows - Ein Schattentheater, das alles in den Schatten stellt - Christmas Special
Let yourself be enchanted by Europe's No. 1 shadow theater!
With their multi-award-winning shadow theater, the Mobilés are taking their audience on a journey into a Christmas world full of wonders and dreams. Look forward to the new Christmas show that enchants, excites, and moves. The new program has captured the poetry of Christmas and presents it to the audience under the Christmas tree. A wonderful gift for young and old.
In 2020, the Cologne ensemble celebrated its 40th anniversary with a new program, which has been extended until 2023 due to the pandemic. It was clear: The time is ripe for new adventures from the shadow world. The result is the "Christmas Special". The Mobilés have once again staged a festive celebration for the senses with their Moving Shadows. Loving, suffering, dancing, acrobatics, poetically, and humorously, they enchant their audience – in black, white, and in color. Shadows that inspire the world.
They have fascinated, touched, and delighted their audience since their founding. A highlight of many awards: Winning the French Supertalent in Paris.
At the world's largest comedy festival "Juste pour rire" in Montreal, Moving Shadows not only impressed the live audience and TV viewers, but also the jury. They won two out of a total of six awards, the "Creativity Award" and the audience award "Darling of the Hearts". No other group has achieved this in the 40-year history of the festival. At the end of 2022, they reached the finals of the Italian Supertalent and finished with a narrow gap in second place.
Seven artists, one screen, plus light and music, that's all it takes for a dreamy journey. With delicate images, the artists, dancers, and mimes captivate their audience. The Moving Shadows create a poetic visual display with astonishing precision and surprising lightness from flowing bodies, whirl spiritedly into the light, and disappear again into the mysterious depth of the space. Behind the screen, their bodies merge into landscapes, animals, and buildings, while in front of the screen, the shadows enchant their audience. The virtuoso play of shapes transports you into a wonderful world and hits right in the heart.
Doors open at 6 pm.
