Hamburg. Organizers promise an ode to creation. The event starts on Thursday at the Kulturkirche. This is what is offered.
There is no better place to describe the ode to the creation story: in Church of Culture in Altona celebrates Thursday evening (February 15) The beginning II The First Scene. This is a continuation of one Light shows, which was shown in Hamburg last year. Behind this is the company Eonarium, which works with a group of artists from Switzerland.
After light productions such as Christmas Gardens and Lumagica, which will open in 2023 Hamburg first appeared and attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors, Genesis is now attracting audiences.
Beginning in Altona: A new era of light will be seen in the Hamburg church
Unlike Christmas Park and Lumagica, visitors to this 3D show need not worry about the weather. It is also not used to walk through an open area through a circular path. Instead, the audience sits on chairs, stools or chairs as the interior of the church is transformed into a sea of lights.
On the ceiling, multiple high-performance projectors create “color pictures” that tell the story of the creation of the sun, moon and stars as well as the lives of humans and animals. “It is a respect for creation that creates deep emotions through creative techniques and artistic representation,” explains Roman Beranek, creative director of Projektil’s artists collective. Artists from Switzerland pay great attention to the fact that the original story is told in a non-sectarian way.
Genesis in Altona: There is live music about the creation story on special dates
