Interventions: Firebird by Touki Delphine
10/03/2025 @ 7:00 pm - 10/04/2025 @ 12:00 am
Inspired by composer Igor Stravinsky’s 1919 Firebird Suite, this event 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 transform the Parade Ground. The audience experience begins upon arrival, where all ticketholders will receive shimmering metallic capes to don once they disembark, 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.
