Multicoloured lights of changing intensity were directed against the facade of a historic building or ruin. The changes of light are synchronized with a sound track (relayed through loudspeakers) carrying music and the dramatized story of the site. Usually, no live participants appear. The first African production took place at Cairo, Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza, in 1961. Title and date from item. Iscribed: "Issued by the Tourist Administration Office - Cairo".
