Enchanted Creatures and How to Become One
Royal Albert Hall, Elgar Room, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]Enchanted Creatures and How to Become One brings animated tales from around the world to life — dancing frogs, a blue-grassing grasshopper, and a hedgehog lost in the fog...
... with a live score performed on hand-crafted instruments made by young people from the Wilderwoods education initiative, alongside contributions from four continents.
Using hands, voices and these unique sounds, audience members become enchanted creatures, discovering their own voice before joining together to animate the screen, adding rhythm, music and effects to every story.
From Lotte Reiniger’s shadow-puppet magic, through the misty dream-world of Yuri Norstein’s Hedgehog in the Fog, to the wild rumpus of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, cinema becomes something you can hear, feel, and play.
Guided by musicians Caelia (violin) and Kieron (guitar, keyboard), the enchanted creatures bring every cue and effect to life as the films unfold.
Please keep phones tucked away — this is a screen-free wild rumpus.
Enchanted Creatures and How to Become One is supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
