The global sensation, The Aluminum Show, made a stop in Central Louisiana on Feb. 10. Audiences packed the house at Coughlin-Saunders as the innovative show combined cutting-edge technology, electrifying dance, and mind-blowing visual effects to create an experience like no other.
Aluminum tubes and foil came to life, transforming the stage into a futuristic playground of one man’s incredible journey to a parallel universe of imagination made entirely of aluminum.
Audience participation is woven into the fabric of the performance, foil tubing and aluminum pillows often snaking its way through the crowds as if it were a silver slumber party. Laughter reigned supreme ensuring that you’re not just watching the magic unfold; you’re part of it.
This is one of the many offerings presented by the Arts Council of Central Louisiana, in an effort to bring culturally relevant and diverse programming to the Cenla region.
