Electric Pedals: The Illusionist
Details
Artsreach and b-side invite you to take a turn in the saddle of one of 16 special bikes for a pedal-powered cinema screening in the stunning gardens of Pennsylvania Castle on Portland this summer.
The Illusionist is one of a dying breed of stage entertainers. With emerging rock stars stealing his thunder, he is forced to accept increasingly obscure assignments in fringe theatres, at garden parties and in bars and cafés. However, while performing in a pub off the west coast of Scotland, he encounters Alice, an innocent young girl who will change his life forever…
Based on a screenplay by French comedy genius, Jacques Tati, comes Director Sylvain Chomet’s cartoon adaptation of this magical tale of friendship and fatherly love.
With bikes suitable for both adults and children to pedal, all the electricity for the screening is produced by you, the cyclists! There are no batteries, generators or back-up power sources. Having generated their own energy, we hope that people will be encouraged to think about energy consumption and, hopefully, even make a small step towards reducing their own everyday energy consumption.
Please note that this is an outdoor event – bring your own chair/blanket to sit on. Gates open at 7:45pm. The Hayloft Café Bar will be open – picnics welcome. Assistance dogs only.
