Photo Flash: First Look at RUFUS LONGBOTTOM AND THE SPACE RABBIT
From a unique creative collaboration between Filament theatre and over 600 children, this heartwarming new show is the story of a friendship between an elderly care home resident and a rabbit from space. Performer and sound-artist Lula Mebrahtu will be using 'Mi.Mu' gloves to manipulate the live, multi-part harmony singing with just the wave of her hands, giving the Rabbit a truly magical and other worldly dimension. Rufus Longbottom and the Space Rabbit combines physical theatre, music and on-stage sound design with storytelling and puppetry in a magical adventure of hope and belonging.
Mi.Mu Gloves are wireless, sensor-enabled gloves for creating and performing music through movement and gesture. The gloves are a fusion of textiles and electronic sensors. Combined with dedicated gesture detection and mapping software, the Mi.Mu gloves offer a new and flexible approach to the control of music and visuals with intuitive human movement. Users experience a dramatic shift in their perceptions of music performance and composition as the technology fades away and what used to be a barrier to entry becomes an enabler of creative freedom.

Cast: Josh Considine, Jonathan Andrew Hume, Claire Greenway, Lula Mebrahtu, Simon Prag
