DELANEY DAVIDSON - Magic Lightbox - (Arts on Tour)

Linda from Putaruru

The Plaza Putaruru, 50 Kensington St, Putaruru, Tue, Nov 28 2017, 7:30PM - 9:30PM

Delaney Davidson, presents his all new show Magic Lightbox.
Remember the slide show of the returned traveller? Remember the projected image on a sheet in the living room? Remember the live orchestra providing music to the movie you went to?

See all three combined as Delaney uses an incredible blend of live music and film, paying homage to these lost ways of storytelling in his tent show carnival style revival.

Dusty highway tales, the old world of Europe, the new world of USA, a glimpse into a forgotten time. Relive the mystery of Switzerland, see New Zealand like you never saw it before, the deserts of California, fairground Brighton by the sea, the cold war Vienna, all roll into one in this irresistible work.

Tickets $20 from The Plaza, iSite Tokoroa, Diamond Jewellers Matamata and Eventfinda.

Doors and bar open at 7pm, show starts at 7.30pm
