Éric Antoine - Magic Délirium
Magic Délirium is even more astonishing, more delirious, and more spectacular than previous shows. It was conceived with Calista Sinclair, his partner on stage and in life, and Sébastien Clergue, a French “illusion designer” who collaborates with the greatest American illusionists. The staging is once again by Étienne de Balasy. Éric Antoine offers us a spectacular new Music Hall show, adding a healthy dose of “grand illusion” and technology to the usual mix of humor, magic, philosophy, music, dance, and video. After exploring reality and unreality in Réalité ou Illusion (2008-2011) and secrets and mysteries in Mysteric (2011-2014), Éric has chosen belief as his theme this time: what or whom to believe... television, fairy tales, religions, miracles, parallel universes, the internet, extraterrestrials... ?
