Technology
Technology forms an essential ingredient, making the project both challenging and complex. Right from the start Mark worked closely with Peter Raaijmakers to explore the possibilities offered by animation, interaction, and technology. A consummate technician, Peter was the spider in the web, since every discipline depended on technology.

INTERVIEWS
 “We also wanted to have real interaction between the animation and the actors. That required even more software, which was even more complicated to program. We were exploring a completely new world, and discovering new things along the way.” [Theater Magazine™ interview by Brechtje Zwaneveld]

“Using interactive computer animations, film images drawn live, and cartoon characters ranging from minute to life-size that dance through the set, this family show by Max is a technological tour de force.” [Anita Twaalfhoven in Trouw, 29 September 2010]
