UCCS and the Colorado Springs community are invited to celebrate\u00a0the 150<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s birth with a laser light show extravaganza on Oct. 19.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gandhi: A Laser Journey is a one-hour showcase of Gandhi\u2019s life<\/span>\u00a0and work, from Indian lawyer to political advocate who used nonviolence to successfully liberate India from British rule. Gandhi\u2019s legacy inspired civil rights movements across the world, including the American civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/span>\u00a0He is credited as being the “spiritual grandfather” of the 14th Dalai Lama,\u00a0Martin Luther King, Jr.,\u00a0Desmond Tutu\u00a0and\u00a0Nelson Mandela.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a labor of love for over two years,\u201d Sorcar told India Post<\/a>. \u201cIt is my humble way to celebrate the 150th\u00a0<\/sup>birth anniversary of the great man whose message on non-violence, religious harmony and unity is more appropriate now than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The laser show uses multiple color lasers, smoke and hazer machines, intelligent lighting, massive rear projection laser screens and a sophisticated surround sound system that can be performed both outside and indoors. The show illustrates Gandhi\u2019s life by weaving colorful onscreen laser art and animation with 3D visual atmospheric effects, all using\u00a0<\/span>cutting-edge<\/span>\u00a0laser technology.\u00a0<\/span>A creation of award-winning laserist Manick Sorcar, it is designed to be educational and entertaining, suitable for all ages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All proceeds will fund the UCCS Arts Experiences Scholarship<\/a>, which awards travel money for UCCS students\u00a0<\/span>to complete creative projects, research,\u00a0workshops\u00a0and internships.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gandhi: A Laser Journey will take place at 6 p.m. on Oct. 19 at the Ent Center for the Arts. Patrons can take advantage of a buy one, get one free promotion\u00a0<\/span>online through the UCCS Presents Box Office<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
