New Efteling illusion show Magicaluna has officially opened
First performance received strong interest from park guests
Efteling has added a new park show to its repertoire. The illusion show Magicaluna launched on 3rd April and can now be enjoyed several times a day at the Efteling Theatre. The cast and crew received a thunderous round of applause during the premiere. Magicaluna is a twenty-minute, non-verbal illusion show centred on enchantment and spectacle.
Nicole Scheffers, Director Park & Resorts: “This dreamlike illusion show allows our guests to experience wonder in an entirely new way at Efteling. With this, we are enriching our entertainment offering and maximising the use of the Efteling Theatre in the coming months. Magicaluna is full of surreal illusions that will amaze our guests and conveys an important life lesson: you are never too old to dream.”
About Magicaluna
In this brand-new park show filled with surreal, dreamlike illusions, Efteling visitors travel alongside a teenage girl, Luna, through dizzying dreams and wondrous creatures. The show will run until Sunday 8 November and will performed three times a day at 12:30, 13:30 and 14:30 (seats cannot be reserved). Magicaluna is a family show with a recommended minimum age of six years. The show does not affect the performance schedule of the theatre show CARO.
The story
On the evening before her birthday, Luna decides to leave her childhood behind. She tidies her room and stores away all her old toys, including Jokie, the doll she received from her grandmother. That night, something unexpected happens. While Luna sleeps, dream builders appear and, with enchanting tricks, transform her room into a grand dream spectacle.
Luna awakens and is amazed again and again. Toys that move as if alive, shadows that guide her, and illusions that take her into a world full of imagination. During this magical journey, Luna rediscovers a feeling she had almost lost: her sense of wonder.
