Octopus
Visual act

Be amazed and surprised by the beautiful appearance of “octopus”… a colorful appearance, with 8 tentacles up to 6 meters high and long, provided with accompanying smoke effects and music.
This decorative act is performed both in daylight and in the dark. In the dark, the Octopus is completely illuminated and additionally provided with laser effects, just above the ground surface.
Goal: To spoil and surprise the audience with an imaginative and colorful environment, wrapped in giant tentacles, that appeal to everyone's imagination… old or young! Ambience that melts the hearts and makes us feel admirably small again.

The artists come from Belgium
