Inspired by our original Dudes in Tubes costumes, which are discussed on another page, this revised version was made for Cirque USA in 2003.

Each full-body suit consists of a headpiece, tunic-style top, and chaps-style pants which are worn over a black bodysuit and tightened with adjustable straps to be form-fitting. Several hundred multi-color LEDs are clustered at "nodes" and joined together by flexible silicone tubes.

As shown in these detailed images, each node contains up to six bi-color LEDs that can be illuminated in red, green, or orange (red and green mixed). Light is transmitted into the flexible tubing that joins the nodes.
