Théâtre Imaginaire
The Reflection Sculpture

The special, unique feature of this reflection sculpture is the interplay between multiple projections, the ingenious construction of the rotating sculpture and the dialogue with sound compositions by Michael Sievert.
A reflective kinetic sculpture processes projected information into a three-dimensional LIGHT SPACE. The stage set thus emerges from the depths of the black space.

The special shape of the sculpture, which rotates on a vertical axis (due to the arrangement of the reflective tubes) and the composed, changing light information (shapes, colours, signs, graphisms and structures on the slide image carrier) create diverse, rhythmically pulsating (dancing) bodies of light in the dark space, transporting the viewer into the world of the phenomenon of light and movement in space.
The result is a magical dance of light, a play of absolute signs, a rhythmic pulsation.
The image carriers (slides) are produced by hand at the light table especially for these productions without any photographic means.
Michael Sievert creates a sound composition for all performances, which acoustically supports and complements the light space on a musical level.
The first reflection sculptures were developed by Gustav Gisiger in the 1990s. This gave rise to the Théâtre Imaginaire: a theatre of movement, light, dance and sound - which relies on the audience’s imagination with its sensual, playful and visually diverse presentation.
