Today on our podcast, we step into the glowing world of Lightwire Theater, where “magic in the dark” comes to life through part dance, part puppetry, and part electroluminescent wiring. Founded by husband-and-wife team Ian and Eleanor Carney in New Orleans, Lightwire creates “evocative stage shows featuring dinosaurs, mythic heroes and fairy-tale creatures.” Imagine shadowy figures outlined in luminous wire, twisting and twirling in perfect synch with music, as a prehistoric T-Rex roars to life or brave knights battle dragons in radiant silhouette. Correspondent Martha Teichner calls it an “imaginative blend of artistry and technology,” and watching it, you can’t help but agree. Whether you’re six or sixty, the ever-shifting lights and graceful choreography transport you to another realm. Join us next time as we shine a spotlight on innovators who bring wonder and whimsy to stages around the world.
