Tesla Orchestra's [1] Boltz is a theatrical performance incorporating a 2-Megavolt Solid-State Tesla Coil, an original narrative plot, live music, energetic choreography and out of this world costuming and set design.
The Tesla Coil is a tower that emits bolts of lightning. The coil is attached to an electronic keyboard and played like a piano. By rapidly expanding the air, the lightning bolts themselves actually produce the music.
