The amusement park on Coney Island in Brooklyn had its heyday in the early 20th century. This was where the concept of the permanently lit and permanently lively 24-hour metropolis was born – a radically artificial world of entertainment, which is described as an urban laboratory again and again. In the Dreamland section of the park, European cities such as Venice and landscapes like the Swiss Alps were emulated for the first time.
Inspired by this, the miniature world of Théâtre Rude Ingénierie from Quebec presents a park made from a multitude of electronically controlled objects: the visitors wander as giants through the fantastic island with its thousands of mechanisms which form constantly changing tableaus and simultaneously serve as sound generators and speakers.
