PHOTO FLASH: Take a Look at the Virtual Presentation of THE PRESENT at Geffen Playhouse
By: Chloe Rabinowitz May. 14, 2020
The Present is inspired by master illusionist and storyteller Helder Guimarães' own life experience with quarantine during childhood. Using his signature mind-bending illusions, Guimarães leads us through a funny, moving and ultimately illuminating story of lessons he learned when he least expected it.
Check out photos below!
The Present takes place virtually via the Zoom platform with a maximum of 25 participants per show. Each participant is mailed a sealed mystery package in advance, the contents of which are only revealed during the course of each performance as Guimarães' story unfolds. In a unique twist, The Present provides both a virtual and physical experience for the audience, as magic also takes place in their own hands, in their own home environment.
