Lightwire Theater from the United States will present electroluminescent lighting show “Moon Mouse: A Space Odyssey” at the Shenzhen Concert Hall.

    Marvin the mouse wants to be popular. Constantly bullied and picked on by the “cool” rats, he is labeled as a loser and a geek. As respite from the continuous badgering, Marvin retreats into his science books and a world of fantasy. He longs to have adventures and to be the hero. Join Marvin on the space adventure of a lifetime: a trip to the surface of the moon on his homemade rocket, where he meets a strange cast of misfit creatures, learns of infinite peril and views awesome beauty. Will Marvin make his dreams come true and experience the glory and acceptance he craves?

    Lightwire Theater’s founders, couple Ian and Eleanor Carney, were both born and raised in New Orleans and met at the age of 13 in a ballet class. Their successful dancing careers took them to New York, and it was on Broadway where Ian met co-creator Corbin Popp while dancing in Twyla Tharp’s “Movin’ Out.” An immediate connection was made between the kindred spirits as they discovered their mutual love of art, theater and technology. After coming across a product called, “El Wire,” the lights turned on and the possibilities seemed endless. The Carney couple together with the Popp couple began to experiment with shapes and designs to develop puppetry-based neon creatures that quickly came to life.

    After years of engineering and development, they initially founded CORBiAN Visual Arts and Dance and eventually founded Lightwire Theater in New Orleans. Since then, they have become internationally recognized for their signature brand of electroluminescent artistry, poignant storytelling and music scores designed to evoke imagery. Lightwire Theater continues to create and deliver innovative theatrical experiences to audiences worldwide.
