Facts and practical information

The Talking Lanterns are a group of light figures in the historic old town of Celle. Five lanterns, whose silhouettes are modeled after various human character types, form a lantern family on a 4 m × 8 m base. This consists of the slightly bent "Grandma Lilo", her little "Grandson Jonas" and his three uncles, the accurate appearing "Perfect Lantern Mr. Westphal", the lanky "Tall Lanky Olli" and the corpulent "Fat Lantern Gerlach". Triggered by motion sensors, the lanterns start talking - either alone or in interaction with each other. Stored audio sequences are called up, for example facts or anecdotes about Celle's old town or short, witty sayings and dialogues.
