The Moon On The Lagoon
MAY 2014
AN EVENING LIGHT AND LULLABY TOUR WITH MOON AND MARS WATCHING
For this special Humboldt Park lagoon twilight get-together, Opera-Matic, along with local community partners, activated the paths around the Humboldt Park lagoon with orbits of light, movement, and sound. All around the lagoon, twilight happened in interesting ways, and the public was invited to join in lullaby sing-a-long stations, view the murmur of the lull-a-bikes gliding by, participate in flash-light flag corp dances, tour the lagoon’s lost light spots, and find community in the process.
