Currents

Cabaret Event | Doors open at 7 pm
Cabaret fare, dessert, & cash bar

Currents is a spectacular show that was inspired by the historical Battle of Currents between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in their quest for finding energy sources for the world. Audience members will be taken on a journey between two troops, each representing a different view of the essence of light and electricity and each inspired by a different esthetic and artistic approach, all of which are presented as a dialogue, through unique sounds, lights, and visual effect.

The show combines a variety of elements: specially made musical instruments, massive video art projections, and eleven skilled performers in constant movement, playing on different instruments and musically juggling between different sounds.

Currents overcomes age and language barriers, bringing incredible energy that enables the audience to take a pause from their daily routine and enjoy a fascinating, breathtaking experience filled with color, music, and movement that come together in an extraordinary fashion.
