The Enchanted Cinema: Where the Wild Things Are & Studio Ghibli
Immersive, interactive cinema- become a pop-up orchestra creating live scores with live FX to Studio Ghibli + Where the Wild Things Are.
About This Event
On July 6th, we invite all ages to go wild with The Enchanted Cinema’s interactive show – Ghibli’s Forest, featuring Where the Wild Things Are (the 1973 animation) and scenes from Studio Ghibli’s breath-taking The Red Turtle (2016).
We start with a warm-up climb into the forest canopy using our hands and voices before kids and grown-ups team up with instruments – turtle drums, lyre harp, zaphir chimes, gong, bird flutes, ocarinas and bamboo canes – to create a live score to the mysterious island and inhabitants that Max encounters (including your narrating of the book), followed by stunning scenes from The Red Turtle‘s island beach and forest, again accompanied by you— our very own pop-up orchestra.
We also invite all ticket-holders to celebrate our launch with our Garden Band & a special performance by multi-instrumentalist Kieron Chissik from The Enchanted Cinema on viola, guitar, keyboard & immersive sound instruments, accompanying a visual tapestry of underwater footage and graphic illustrations.
