A bit rough on the edges. Silence in between all performances so it was like watching a series of recitals. The juggler made mistakes each time, he was good otherwise. The show would have been much better if there was story that tied all the performances. The choreography was pretty basic - could have been better. Still, we enjoyed the show - it was something different. Best performances were the ones with the giant fans, flags, and the lights made to move like waves then into a heartbeat monitor. Show has potential. It was worth the goldstar price.Written on Nov 15 2011

I am glad I did't pay the full price! I was really let down. The idea itself wasn't that bad, however it was done on a school performance level.Written on Nov 14 2011

Description
Luma leaves your body in the dark and takes you out of your mind. Step to the precipice of your imaginations take the giant leap into a surreal world of light, color and motion where thinking stop and astonishment begins.
Luma uses the dark as a canvas and light as the brush to paint a story of how light occurs to humanity. Standing on a lava flow on the ‘edge of the Earth,’ Marlin, the shows founder, had an epiphany that all life is drawn to light. Like a deer in the headlight, a moth to a flame, a seed to the sun, we humans are also inextricably pulled to the light. We all have a memory of playing with a flashlight under the covers, waving a sparkler, gazing at the lights on our birthday cakes and this fascination never ends even after we have grown up.
Blending various physical disciplines with hi-tech illuminated objects, Luma creates a “techno-circus” that is born in the shadows and has audiences sitting on the edge of their seats with goggle eyes and slack jaws. The viewer experiences artistic depictions of natural, artificial and metaphysical light. Fireflies dance, shooting starts flash across a darkened stage, screen savers undulate, carnival rides spin and EKG monitors pulse the heartbeat of the body electric.
