Black Magic at Battersea Arts Centre

In Black Magic, two magicians, Kalle Nio and Luis Sartori do Vale work closely together, despite being physically distant.

Exploring techniques of black theatre and double exposure – reminiscent of 19th-century trick photography – Kalle Nio and Luis Sartori do Vale seamlessly merge traditional methods with modern technology, to create illusions in real time, blurring the boundaries between the virtual and the real.
