A stunning combination of dance and illusion.
Evolution Dance Theater is an exciting dance theatre company created by
ex-Momix dancer, Anthony Heinl. It is dedicated to producing innovative
dance and illusion theatre for Italy and the world. In his three
decades of experience in theatre and dance, Heinl has developed a unique
theatrical sensibility, incorporating the human body with stunning
illusionary effects. With imaginative technology, video, strong
acrobatics, physical theatre and dance, a magical world making the
impossible possible is created, often taking the audience by surprise.
FireFly is a production that creates visions of beauty and humour
through a dreamlike series of fantasy vignettes with truly unique
technical effects, and performed by a cast of dancers/acrobats. A
plethora of strange creatures unfettered by the laws of physics flash
through space, melting into and breaking away from each other. A new
black light technique developed by Heinl enhances the excitement as
figures mysteriously float, fly, bounce, and disappear. The performance
fuses the illusionary and the magical in a refreshing, engaging and
memorable performance that continually excites the audience, appealing
to young and old.
About the Group
Evolution Dance Theater was founded in 2008 and almost immediately
devoted itself with success to creating shows that fuse imaginative
athleticism with charming visual effects. The strength of the company
is its knowledge of a comprehensive artistic vocabulary that is not
limited to dance but extends to video art, illusion, lighting and
special live effects.
Anthony Heinl, the choreographer of American origin, was educated and
trained in chemical sciences and technology. Thanks to such a diverse
background, he experimented with new materials and the combination of
the elements to create the so-called “Hollywood effect” on stage. Its
magic also comes from the newest blacklight theatre technology which
enhances the modern touch and the television effect.Tickets: http://www.urbtix.hk
