Montreal: Là où l’impossible prend vie (Where the Impossible Comes to Life) [Aug 27 - 31]

Tickets at Place des Arts. 

 

From the July 8th article "For his fourth show, illusionist Luc Langevin has pulled out all the stops: Where the Impossible Comes to Life is the culmination of 15 years of work, he tells us. A show of 'international caliber' that will tour Europe early next year. La Presse met him in his rehearsal space." by Jean Siag at La Press (translation from French by Google): 

"The challenge is to create a connection with the audience," he tells us. Hence the importance, according to him, of involving spectators, who are sometimes invited to come on stage, sometimes to participate in a performance from their seats. But they must be completely fooled for the magic to happen.

"For a good illusion to come to life, it's a choreography between the lighting, the music, the technicians, the staging, the video projection, and the magician. That's what makes it complex and requires rehearsal," explains Luc Langevin. "It's a lot of work and training."
