Alchemy of Light - Ruth Sergel & Peter von Salis
Part of Culturemart at HERE Arts Center
PERFORMANCE: Jan 15,16 8:30PM $15

There is an aching tension between the promise of technology and our
critical need for human interaction and touch. Melding 19th century
illusionism with current interactive technology, Alchemy of Light
traces the life of the legendary magician, Torrini, who toured the
world with his daughter and wife showcasing their illusions. One day, a
tragedy dispels the happy demonstration of technical prowess.  Torrini
is left straining against the limits of technology as he struggles to
regain his lost family. Alchemy of Light is a parable from a time when our lives first became mediated by machines.
