Winter performance: experience the magic of the magic lantern

Let yourself be immersed on Sunday, December 20, in an enchanting spectacle of light, image, and music. Laterna Magica Galantee Show brings the forgotten world of the magic lantern back to life. Long before cinema and television, these “lanternes magiques” knew how to amaze young and old. With authentic devices and original hand-painted glass plates, a visual spectacle unfolds that takes you to fairy-tale worlds, exotic places, and dramatic stories. From fairy-like scenes to dark visions: the magic lantern knew how to evoke emotions like no other. The performance is accompanied live by music and forms a unique total experience for all ages. This rare glimpse into an almost disappeared form of visual culture leaves no one untouched. The performance is given on campus Oude Gevangenis of the UHasselt.
