Magic Lantern Galantee Show has succeeded in turning back the clock by giving a performance that amazes even the modern public. The group was started by Herman Bollaert, who wanted to show his collection of magical lantern material and share with his audience the unique experience of a dashing art from bygone days. He is assisted by people working in different artistic disciplines, ranging from the theatre and puppet shows to photography, film and music. Authentic material is used in the show, a tri-unial lantern and original painted slides that have been collected over the years. The whole show is supported by live music. The programme will undoubtedly enthral people of all ages. Everyone will be captivated by this unique view into the past, by the lantern’s magic, by this true phantasmagoria of light, colour, movement and music.
