Spellbinding ’Black Light Show’ Brings In Artistic Innovation To DSF 2013
The Black Light Show, a mix of choreography, motion, dance, music, light and shadow, wowed audiences at the Centrepoint Theatre, DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates, from January 3 to January 6 as part of the entertainment activities during DSF 2013.
The hour-long show brought the best of experimental theatre to the Festival, as it presented a spellbinding visual feast while weaving in themes of traditional relevance to Dubai and the region.
With ’See the music… listen to the light’ as its guiding slogan, the show saw a magical and thrilling theatrical performance as the performers were placed between strong light sources and a screen on which their silhouettes were projected as they danced, contorted and displayed acrobatics to make their shadows take on the appearance of letters of the alphabet, palm trees, flowers, monuments, symbols such as of love and shapes of animals such as camels, apart from enactments of scenes of joy pertinent to the DSF and Dubai.
With amazing precision, the troupe of performers formed the words Dubai and DSF with the silhouettes of their bodies and went on to form the shapes of traditional emblems of Dubai, such as the date palm and the camel, all while keeping time to a rhythmic, lively musical score – making for a tremendously well-received programme and a very appreciative audience.
