Depeche Mode Laser-Theater in Budapest

The LaserTheater at the Planetarium Budapest in cooperation with the Freestate.hu have put together an interesting event that promises to be an artistic translation of Depeche Mode’s music into laser beams! The premiere night for the show is scheduled for April 9th, so those interested should hurry up. More details aswell as the tracklist for the show inside.

Fantastic laser-concerts are waiting for you in the Planetarium of Budapest.
A spiderweb woven from thousands of subtle lines mingles with stacks of violet blue and emerald green sparkling points. Quickly changing forms float and turn into each other, beams of light cross the space, glittering stars are hovering in the air. As if a fairy revived the paintings of an abstract exhibition where the works of the artist, who used only clear, unmixed colours and microscopic lines – starting a new life, would step out of the frames to occupy a new – an incomprehensible dimension. Can the music be painted? Can music be composed to light? In the fantasy world of Art the answer has always been yes to those questions in a thousand various ways. The laser beam is a new brush, a new colour and paint through which some of the artists try to prove again, and loosen the paradox of the visible sounds and audible pictures.
The only permanent light-theater on the European continent. From the encounter of music, the Fine Arts, and the laser beam not only a new technique but a new form of expression was born. As the leader of the lightart group György Hegedüs says: “People genuinely wish to experience abstraction”. The message of the television, the movies, the newspapers are ordinary stories and they effect only the surface of the mind. The performances of the LaserTheater are really about nothing. Everything is abstraction here. And still, through our senses the sight penetrates into our feelings.
It is 20 years after the first depeCHE MODE show taking place at the Laser Theatre back in 1989, that again the dM logo emerges as a blaze in the sky of the Theatre parallel with FREESTATE.hu celebrating its 3rd birthday!
