Twilight Orchard

Dates: October 3 - 9, 2006

Location: Columbus Park; 5701 W Jackson, Chicago

Created by Redmoon Artistic Director Jim Lasko, Spectacle ‘06: Twilight Orchard explores converging environments and images in an interactive performance and ritual site. Spectacle ‘06: Twilight Orchard will present a number of interactive site-specific installations designed by local artists, fourteen-foot-tall moveable walls which will continually transform into different rooms with various characters inside, and “sound pods” traveling throughout the park. The continually-changing environment will be enhanced by costumed characters and pageantry-style processions.

“…a journey through a poetic fantasy world that promises a surprise around every corner.” - Chicago Sun-Times

“…the intricate visual textures on display and the ability to choose one’s own path through this wonderland offers distinct pleasures.” - Chicago Tribune
