Philippe Beau is an "SHADOW ARTIST,"
a specialist in Chinese shadows and "ombromania" (choreographed hand
ballet). He is one of the rare
artists who practices this technique today. For more than 20 years, he has practiced magic and
manipulated light to create shows. A performer, creator and artistic advisor, he has become a
recognised specialist. Film and
theatre directors and choreographers regularly call on him to create a specific
work based on shadows and magic.
Concert for a young audience; recommended age from 4 years
