An evening of classic works of cinema alongside contemporary sounds and live puppetry, in the majestic setting of the St Helier Opera House.
Amiina: Amiina are four musicians, Hildur Ársælsdóttir, Edda Rún Ólafsdóttir, Maria Huld Markan Sigfúsdóttir, and Sólrún Sumarliðadóttir, who hail from Iceland where they work closely with the ethereal sounds of Sigur Ros, specifically as the Sigur Ros string section. Amiina on their own are renowned for the multi-instrumental live stage show, as they swap instruments from glockenspiel to celesta to musical saw and even water-filled glasses, creating their own beautiful soundscapes of contemporary classical to electronic loops.
Tonight, we are joined by three of the group, who will perform the premiere of an exclusive score to the classic silhouette fairytale animation of Lotte Reiniger. Originally from Germany where she made puppet and animated version of the most-loved children’s fairytales in the 1920s, Reiniger escaped the Nazis and moved to London where she continued working into the 1950s. Tonight Amiina will perform live to her versions of SLEEPING BEAUTY and CINDERELLA. Don’t miss this magical mix of sound and image.
The Paper Cinema and Kieron Maguire: Inkblots, photocopies, cardboard, angle-poise lamps, the occasional table, video technology, a laptop and a banana box, are all put to use alongside a cast of hand-drawn marionettes magically brought to life by the Paper Cinema. This highly original theatre company use projections of intricate illustrations in order to tell their mysterious stories and create a truly ‘live cinema’ experience. With residencies at the Edinburgh Fringe, London’s EAST Festival and the Battersea Arts Centre, this is their debut Jersey performance.
