The concept
Embark on a captivating journey through the eyes of a butterfly in "Fluttering Colours", an immersive experience that reimagines our world. This unique production, masterminded by artist manager Max Gordiani, unites a team of exceptional talents.
In the performance "Fluttering Colours" BSP explores the impacts of climate change through the lens of the monarch butterfly, whose epic migrations are disrupted by rising temperatures, extreme weather, shrinking food and water sources. This multimedia experience combines singing, live painting, spoken word, and video projections to immerse audiences in the butterfly’s journey, paralleling it with broader themes of resilience and adaptation. Climate change migration refers to the movement of people forced to relocate due to environmental changes like rising sea levels, floods, droughts, extreme weather, and land degradation. In 2018 alone, approximately 17.2 million people were displaced globally because of climate and weather-related disasters. This number is expected to rise as climate change intensifies, affecting communities and creating widespread social, economic, and political challenges. It is a global issue that demands urgent action across all levels of society.
The show’s innovative approach creates a deeply engaging, multisensory experience. Using technology-enhanced canvases connected to sound triggers, BSP’s live painting brings a dynamic layer to the performance, synchronizing visuals with music and voice. As the artwork evolves, abstract and representational forms reflect the fragile beauty of nature and the pressing need for environmental preservation. The performance invites audience participation, fostering a shared connection between art, environment, and community. “Fluttering Colours” serves as both a visual spectacle and a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address climate change to protect ecosystems and the interconnectedness of all life forms. Through her unique fusion of art and technology, FC delivers a message that is as inspiring as it is thought-provoking.
Together, we can make a difference.
"Right, where do I even begin? Witnessing this show in Madeira redefined my expectations for live performance. As a jaded businessman, captivating experiences are rare. This immersive butterfly journey, with stunning visuals and a powerful environmental message, completely blew me away. The true highlight was BSP, the artist who creates canvases that erupt with sound with each brushstroke, transporting you to another world. So enthralled was I, that I had to own a piece – it now hangs in my office, a constant reminder of the need for environmental action. A must-see for anyone seeking an unforgettable and impactful experience!"
