KLÉ

The truth is that the corollary of this show could not have come out better: the power of the images, the virtuosity of the costume changes and the array of magical effects, scenes boasting a fresh and highly accomplished freneticism, always with a colourful visual base that is masterfully fit into the pictorial universe of Klee and the Bauhaus. And it’s all served up in a succession of scenes following the rhythm of Vassil Lambrinov’s live music and the rich soundtrack accompanying him.

Addaura offers this entire display of ideas, tricks, effects and wonders with an attitude of devoted humility beholden to the work, with the extraordinary generosity of having adapted to the difficult requirements of magic and transformism, yet without ever losing its way and exuding a joyful, powerful yet modest energy.

The artistic director, Teia Moner, celebrates the figure of pioneers in the creative field who have used art as an expressive means of struggle in the era they were fated to live in, while also as a formula to assert individual freedom. This is a feverish show that manages to keep up the pace and get children and adults alike clapping from the very start. The show aims to delve into the painter’s personal life while also exploring a way of making and viewing art. Therefore, it is an appeal to children’s creative spirit.  

The technique reveals meticulous work, which is essential to attaining the objective of the visual theatre being offered. The visually powerful universe is joined by a fantastical, unreal component which comes from illusionism, which is skilfully integrated without the magnificence of magicians. The viewers allow themselves to be hypnotised with each new visual surprise. The power of the images and the live music are the strong points of this stroll through Paul Klee’s colourful universe.
