| 説明 | InvasionA public spectacle at its most awe-inspiring, Invasion populated the streets of Norwich with life-size prehistoric creatures – the ultimate in visceral street theatre.Huge beasts stalked majestically through the streets of Norwich. Prehistoric birds flying overhead. A mythical world came alive.This year’s Festival opened in awesome style with Invasion, a highly mobile – and highly exciting – street spectacle. Invasion created an all-enveloping experience, as prehistoric animals moved through the audience and animal voices sounded from every direction. The beasts, came from all sides, leaving people confused: should they follow or flee? But chaos was avoided by a magical song that attracts the animals and restored calm, leaving the crowds to go with the flow of the unique and enthralling event.Large animals moved between the public. A mythical world came alive; animal sounds were heard everywhere. A dark figure appeared as a prehistoric bird flew overhead. The area was completely filled as all the creatures spread out, causing confusion among the people; should they run or follow? The chaos ended by a magical song that attracted the animals and calmed them!Invasion - An unforgettable moving street spectacle that moves the crowd like a sea. People see impressive figures and forget the actors inside the costumes. All get carried away: this is a unique experience!Performed by Close-Act Theatre a professional company of stilt walkers, dancers, musicians, fire throwers and acrobats, training and rehearsing together on a regular basis. Close-Act also has a studio of costume designers, visual artists, graphic and industrial designers. Work-students from different colleges come to our studio often for an internship.Last but not least Close-Act has an office with fantastic people who maintain relations with both clients and performers. They are also involved in developing special concepts and scenarios and most of them combine the office work with performing or working in the studio.The different disciplines and backgrounds of all these people make for interesting interaction and a surprising mix when we are creating new performances.Leading forces and inspirators of Close-Act are artistic directors Hesther Melief and Tonny Aerts. From their brains the concepts for the performances originate and they give direction to all people until the performance reaches its final form.Close-Act was founded in 1991 and settled in a monumental farm in Tilburg in 2003. The actors and co-workers come from all over the Netherlands and Belgium.From the start Close-Act has been performing abroad. Mostly in Europe at first, but since the success of performances such as Malaya and the mobile acts Saurus and White Wings, Close-Act travels across the world.Close-Act is always on the move. The company aims on launching a new performance every two years. New mobile acts are created each year. Existing acts are constantly improved with new costumes, acting, dance and technical innovations.With Malaya Close-Act found a form that best suits their vision on Street Theatre. Instead of using a stage or a fenced-off playsite, the actors and mobile objects move between and above the crowd. This ultimate form of interactive street theatre has great impact on the audience.The big mobile objects and beautifully designed costumes are best suited for a large audience. Close-Act therefore performs mainly at street theatre festivals and large scaled events. |
