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.
