ArKtype Presents Compagnia T.P.O. Farfalle (Butterflies)
A multi-media production from Italy that charts the lives of butterflies with ultra modern visual and audio technology mixed with Old World theatrical charm (video link here). It takes place in the intimate Walker Theater (120 seats) so everyone is close to the action. For more about TPO click here.
The show is approximately 50 minutes long and interactive. Chosen children will be invited to help trigger changes in the magical soundscape and digitally projected images. Bring your children and grandchidren to this one-of-a-kind performance. The Avampato discovery Museum will be offering butterfly workshops to coincide with the performances.
The "installations" are opportunities to stay after the performance and explore the sound and light production environment on your own.
