ANIMA
4D art

World Première: 7 ­ 9 June 2002 @ 8pm
ONLY UK DATES

Anima is an amazing spectacle previously unseen in British theatre; a highly
unique and futuristic theatrical extravaganza, which will mesmerise its
audience with 4D special effects.

The internationally acclaimed 4D art from Montreal is directed by Michel
Lemieux and Victor Pilon. Creators of Grand Hôtel des Étrangers and Orféo,
4D art integrate the very latest technologies with live performance.

Anima is a fusion of cinema, video, dance and music that twists perceptions,
enhances reality and ravages the senses. As physical and virtual characters
engage in live action interplay, environments magically shift in the blink
of an eye. 

Inspired by the work of Desmond Morris, author of the The Naked Ape, Anima
is a truly high-tech roadtrip ­ a virtual reality musical journey and
hallucinatory sensory experience.

Sure to be one of the hottest tickets in town, if you have ever seen a
performance at Contact, you haven't yet seen anything on this vast scale.
It promises to be the IMAX experience of live performance.

Anima will première at Contact from 7 - 9 June and will give a lucky few the
chance to see the next generation of theatrical experience.

Presented by Cultureshock in association with Digital Summer [inter:face]
and Contact.
These performances are exclusive to Cultureshock and are the only UK dates.

Sponsored by Manchester Airport, Anima is also supported by North West Arts
Board, the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Canada
and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec.
