Awesome Spectacle Featuring a Light Show and Live Music.

Most visual object theatre is presented in dark spaces, and is created out of the dexterous manipulation of objects in intimate surroundings. Cie. Luc Amoros manages to retain this charm while creating open, public works on a grand scale for large audiences. The troupe creates mind-blowing spectacles using light and live music.
In Linz, they didn’t use a conventional stage to do so; instead, they erected a gigantic scaffold with nine square surfaces made of linen. This was the blank page, a space in the middle of the city which can be filled in with shadows, paintings and visuals of all kinds. This impressive setup morphed between transient work of art and the diametrical opposite of billboards, challenged the eye of the beholder, and constantly formed new images. The wide-ranging narratives were expressed with the help of words, paintings, shadows and songs—all of which were destroyed immediately upon conclusion of the narrative arc to avoid becoming objects of speculation on the art market. The audience joined in—living, dreaming, humming.
THE BLANK PAGE was Linz09’s contribution to Pflasterspektakel and the opening event of this annual production in which street theatre takes over the city for one long and glorious weekend.
