Belfast
The Ulster Bank Belfast International Arts Festival presents the Animotion Show this Sunday 18th October. The live chemistry between renowned virtuoso percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie and acclaimed Russian visual artist Maria Rud, delivers a sound and image fusion that is truly unforgettable. Maria’s iconic images are beamed live, as she paints them, onto the walls of the Belfast City Hall by projection artist Ross Ashton. The audience enjoy not just beautiful paintings on this stunning building but also the process of painting itself as they witness each brush stroke and developing form as images materialise and transform to be then swept away and replaced by something new. The effect is breath-taking. Admission is free but booking is essential.
