Magic, like all performing arts, reinvents itself and also contributes to building the theatre of tomorrow. Because magic is no longer just an art of deceiving the eye “It has also become a creative space where storytelling, movement, and technology, illusion and dramaturgy, intertwine,” explains Murel Mayette-Holtz, director of the TNN. This is why the TNN is offering a dedicated festival for the fourth year running. The festivities begin this Saturday at La Cuisine with a Grand Gala directed by Olmac, winner of the Grand Prix de Magie, blending mentalism, close-up magic, and traditional magic. On April 21 and 22, the Gandini Juggling troupe, a world-renowned juggling troupe, will present a show suitable for ages 8 and up. Circus, magic, and dance!
