Season Finale!

6PM -- William Close and The Earth Harp Collective

An internationally renowned ensemble that combines the creative forces of artists, musicians, composers and choreographers. The stunning centerpiece of the instrumentation - the earth harp - is just one of the many new and cutting edge instruments in this dynamic show. Tthe ultimate multi-dimensional concert experience!

8:30PM -- The U.S. premiere of BIG BANG by Plasticiens Volants

This dynamic group from France creates spectacular stories using giant inflated puppets and objects. The exotic, illuminated ‘inflatables’ present stories from history, mythology and literature against the evening sky. Controlled by equally mesmerizing costumed actor-operators who interact with the audience, these giant inflated puppets and objects fly over the observers to demonstrate the evolution of the universe in a poetic way.

Plasticiens Volants has thrilled audiences from over five continents, with high-profile appearances at the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Paralympic Games in Australia, and festivals from Canada to Japan—yet they have never performed in the U.S. Artpark’s scenic location will provide a dramatic backdrop for the fantastic inflatables, and an exclusive opportunity for spectators of all ages to experience this unique performance.
