At this moment, i don't know anything about this Tronicles of Narnia thing, but what i do know is that this Narnia and Tron mash up thing is awesome. for further explanation about this event, read this one below :
"Step over your fantasy threshold and into a new realm of audio visual delights with The Tronicles of Narnia this Christmas.
On Saturday 18 December, from 10pm to 6am, Cardboardboss Collective presents The Tronicles of Narnia – an epic night of stupendous sensory overload in East London’s latest warehouse event space.
The night will take the iconic sci-fi aesthetic of the original 1980s Tron, and particle-smash it together with the sprawlingly imaginative world of the Narnia fantasy stories. The results are as yet unknown, but they will be spectacular.
Masterminded to coincide with the release dates of two of 2010’s most highly anticipated movie re-makes, Walt Disney’s 'TRON:Legacy' and 20th Century Fox’s 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' – ToN has been tipped as one of the most unusual and exciting events to hit London this year.
Fancy dress demands fur coats, Tron helmets, fawn legs and electro neon grid get-up. East London's newest warehouse space will transform into a pixel-based Narnia war zone. Prepare for Christmas tree forests, fields of lasers, snow machines, infinite grids, witches, lightbikes, fawns and abundant glistening piles of turkish delight.
The Snow Queen will play host, alongside DJs JFB, Si Begg, Taz Buckfaster and Touchy Subject, all performing to a backdrop of eye-blistering and mind blending Tron/Narnia visuals from the Cardboardboss Collective VJs and artists.
The event’s secret location will be revealed a fortnight before the wardrobe doors open: The lion, the glitch and the war-strobes await you.
Don’t miss your opportunity to get wonky with Aslan at the meltdown of the year! Order tickets now to avoid disappointment, for when Aslan boards his lightbike, we only dare speculate as to the results…
ToN is a Christmassy mega mash up VJ/DJ/Live performance interactive show. Taking place slap-bang in the middle of the two film's release dates this December, it is NOT TO BE MISSED. "
