Animator Norman McLaren, creator of such classics as Pas de deux and Once Upon a Chair, left an indelible mark on the history of film. He founded the National Film Board animation studio in 1941 and turned it into a unique creative crucible that inspired generations of filmmakers. Through the innovative projection technologies developed by 4D art, audiences can now penetrate McLaren’s world in a whole new way. This one-man show, featuring talented performer/choreographer Peter Trosztmer in a world premiere production, pays tribute to the great filmmaker’s extraordinary genius, vision and humanity through an interactive mix of interviews, sound sequences and video clips. Don’t miss this live fusion of theatre and film!
