From Wednesday, October 30 to Sunday, November 10, 2024, Eldritch Theatre opens their bone-chilling 2024-25 season with Phantasmagoria 3D! at Red Sandcastle Theatre.
See arcane rituals enacted! Gasp as subterranean creatures enslave the innocent! Scream with terror as the Old Ones awake and reclaim the Earth… All performed in Live 3D!
You will not believe your eyes!
In the 18th century, the audiences of Europe were gripped by a new form of horror theatre. Using magic lanterns, shadows, puppetry and parlour illusions, artists like Phylidor, Johann Carl Enslen and the Mysterious Robertson created the “Fantasmagorie”, during which ghosts would rise from their mouldering tomb, fiery demons and smokey phantoms would cavort through the theatre, and rotting skeletons would materialize from out of thin air, and then fade back into the ether.
Created and performed by Eric Woolfe, Michelle Urbano and Kira Hall, this production uses a never before imagined process known as Live 3D!, created by cinematographer Micha Dahan and developed by The Coalmine Theatre.
“In the world of punk-tinged, Victorian-gothic puppeteering, Eric Woolfe must rank near the very top.”
