Tout inclus sur la planete rouge // All inclusive to Mars

Egotrip Productions just presented a brand new performance for Festival Phenomena.  

Tout inclus sur la Planète Rouge
Presented by Egotrip Productions
[Arthur Desmartaux & Allison Moore]
Bilingual multi-media Shadow play — 40 minutes.
All Inclusive on the Red Planet is a bilingual sci-fi shadow-puppet show telling an uncanny story of the first tourist mission to Mars. After unsafely landing, the astro-tourists must learn to survive on the inhospitable red planet, facing incredible odds like massive sand storms and mysterious attacks from unknown terrors. Using vivid technicolor video backdrops, hand puppets, live performers and featuring a psychedelic retro sci-fi soundtrack, this impressive mystical play owes much to the cinematographers and special effects masters of the sixties sci-fi genre films. True to retro science-inaccuracy, this story is just a little step ahead of today’s reality. All Inclusive on the Red Planet is a multi-media puppet journey exploring vast horrifying territories beyond any human imaginings!
