Siro-A

AN AUDIO-VISUAL FEAST!

Comparable to the globe-straddling Blue Man Group, Siro-A bring their dazzling fusion of technology, visual and physical comedy to London. Hailing from Sendai Japan, the sextet's precision-tooled choreography and timing are everything in this slick production. Through dance, mime and puppetry, the company collaborates with technology in a way never seen before as they energetically marry the interaction between the performer, audience, video and music.

While the group's visual innovations drive the hour-long spectacle, it is also propelled by pulsating techno music and mesmeric video animations, augmented with playful humor. Audience participation makes this light hearted and family-orientated a truly interactive experience that's not to be missed.

WHAT IS SIRO-A ABOUT?

Siro-A, derived from the Japanese word for 'white' or 'colourless', holds another connotation - 'impossible to define'. The latter definition is particularly apt in describing this group and their show is best defined as a progression of the ancient art of shadow puppetry, projecting images onto the front and back of white screens.

There is a high level of technical skill involved in bringing this art form to stage with the addition of advanced laser and projection equipment Siro-A demonstrates this skill in their accuracy and timing. The technological display, combined with the group's main discipline of dance, allows for the development of a unique visual style where animation blends flawlessly with reality.
