Sunday in the Park with George

Seattle Re-Mount

Remount of award winning show Sunday in the Park with George (including design and projection design by David Farley, Timothy Bird and the Knifedge Creative Network) at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle.

THE SEATTLE TIMES

‘Adapting a production they originated in 2005 at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory, then took to Broadway, Buntrock and designers Timothy Bird (projections), David Farley (sets and costumes) and Ken Billington (lights), supply excellent visual elements here — including delightful bits of animation.’ From Review by Jay Irwin

BROADWAY HOUR SEATTLE

‘Originally conceived for a performance in the Menier Chocolate Factory (yes, a chocolate factory converted into a theater!), the production team led by director Sam Buntrock is responsible for the production that was seen in London, the West End in New York, and what can be seen now at the 5th Avenue Theatre. Buntrock’s background in animation, teamed with Timothy Bird and Knifedge The Creative Network’s digital video projection systems creates an artistic element rarely seen in such traditional shows as Sunday in the Park with George. All of these individual theatrical points, when seen as a whole with proper lighting and perspective, allow the eye to combine them on David Farley’s set as Seurat’s paintings allow the viewer to perceive contrasting red and blue dots as a purple flower.’

FINE ARTS EXAMINER

‘The show opens absorbingly. The graphics used in the production are state of the art, and are designed by Timothy Bird and the Knifedge Network. They solicited “oohs” and “aahs” from a packed house. I’d never seen the like before in a theatre. Did the innovativeness and ingenuity of the technology guarantee a smash hit? Read on!’
