"Firebird, described as a 'hypnotic, genre-defying visual arts performance' uses 500 recycled car taillights to create an orchestra of light. The open-air light experience will blend with music inspired by Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. The project by Amsterdam-based artist collective Touki Delphine is making its New York City debut on October 3-4 at the Governors Island Parade Ground. Tickets are on sale now for $20 (plus ferry transit, which you've got to coordinate on your own)."
"Upon arrival from the ferry, each guest will receive a shimmering metallic cape to wear, kickstarting the spectacle en route to the show. Guided by the artists themselves, this glittering collective will make its way to the Parade Ground-set against the dramatic Lower Manhattan skyline-where Firebird bursts to life in a hypnotic dance of synchronized light, courtesy of 500 recycled car taillights that have been salvaged from scrapyards in the Northeastern United States, all set to Touki Delphine's contemporary composition."
"Inspired by composer Igor Stravinsky's 1919 Firebird Suite, Firebird pays homage to his musical creations with a performance centered around a massive wall of light designed to illuminate the dance of the firebird. The unique sensory journey allows visitors to revel in the glowing celebration and hypnotic display that will illuminate this secluded part of New York City. After the event ends, ticket-holders can stick around for a post-show gathering with the artists."
Firebird is an open-air immersive light performance by Amsterdam-based collective Touki Delphine that uses 500 recycled car taillights to create a synchronized visual orchestra. The installation pairs the taillight choreography with music inspired by Igor Stravinsky's 1919 Firebird Suite and centers on a massive wall of light that illuminates the dance of the firebird against the Lower Manhattan skyline. Guests receive shimmering metallic capes, are guided from the ferry to the Parade Ground, and can attend a post-show gathering with the artists. The event runs October 3-4 at Governors Island; tickets are $20 plus ferry transit.
