Moving Shadows

In the organizer's words:

Be enchanted by Europe's No. 1 shadow theater! With their multi-award-winning shadow theater, the Mobilés and their Moving Shadows take their audience into a Christmas world full of wonders and dreams. Look forward to the new Christmas show that enchants, inspires and moves. The new program has captured the poetry of Christmas and puts it under the Christmas tree for the audience. A wonderful gift for young and old.

In 2020, the Cologne-based ensemble celebrated its 40th anniversary with a new program, which was extended until 2023 due to the pandemic. So it was clear: the time was ripe for new adventures from the world of shadows. The result is the "Christmas Special". With their Moving Shadows, the Mobilés have once again staged a glittering feast for the senses. Loving, suffering, dancing, gyrating, poetic and funny, they enchant their audience - in black, white and in color. Shadows that inspire the world.

They have been fascinating, touching and inspiring their audiences since their foundation. The highlight of many awards: Winning the French Super Talent in Paris.

At the world's biggest comedy festival "Juste pour rire" in Montreal, Moving Shadows not only wowed the live audience and TV viewers, but also the jury. They won two out of a total of six prizes, the "Creativity Prize" and the audience prize "Winner of Hearts". No other group has achieved this in the 40-year history of the festival. At the end of 2022, they were in the final of the Italian Super Talent and finished in second place by a wafer-thin margin.

Seven artists, a screen, light and music - that's all it takes for a dreamlike journey. The artists, dancers and mime artists captivate their audience with delicate images. With astonishing precision and astounding ease, the Moving Shadows create a poetic series of images from flowing bodies, whirling spiritedly into the light and disappearing again into the mysterious depths of the room. Behind the canvas, their bodies merge into landscapes, animals and buildings; in front of the canvas, the shadows enchant their audience. The virtuoso interplay of forms transports the audience into a wonderful world and strikes at the heart of the audience.
