a giant twelve-headed audio-visual creature that sings, tells stories and comes alive!

For "Becoming Immortal", audiences will be introduced to the living, sentient Creature Choir
- a collection of diverse voices and faces from acrosscultures, races and human history.
As the show progresses, the Creatures develop their own persona and become more and more interactive...
until they directly invite some of the audience members to join the Creature Choir for themselves
and become immortal!
The Lumiphonic Creature Choir is Synarcade's latest invention where a group of musicians
and audience members can play, trigger and interact live
with a giant twelve-headed audio-visual instrument.
