Totally incredible : the Black Art of Omar Pasha from Paris and the man without his head.
Black Art to exceptional perfection : Omar Pasha bewitches the Friedrichsbau Variety Theater. He inverts the established rules, tables are flying, candelabras appear from nowhere : Omar Pasha celebrates the Black Art with a rare perfection to the music of Ravel’s Bolero.
Omar Pasha shows the unexpected possibilities of visual manipulation in his Black Art’s interpretation. Poetically and with the power of color and light, Omar Pasha metamorphoses oriental stories into artistic tales.
Just as the pace of the Hula-Hoop act is lightning fast, so the magic of the “black art” is seamless in creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The stage becomes dark, fire red bulbs shine and in the center of those lights a man wearing a white turban bows. With dignity, Omar Pasha makes tables and chairs float through the space or even makes his assistants vanish.
