REFLECTIONS ON FIRE: EXTINGUISHING OLD IDEAS

At The Exelon Observatory

Cabinet of Curiosity was honored to partner with Blu Rhythm Chicago to create a unique outdoor, installation inspired, device driven, ritual experience motivated by our public invitation to abandon old ideas. Reflections on Fire: Extinguishing Old Ideas was a free ritual event for a family audience, ages 6 and up. Masks, dance, song, devices, interaction and exchange lead the evening's magic. This spectacle of the spirit was the result of 3 months of collaboration with over 50 artists, designer’s dancers, composers, singers, and engineers. The event was made possible by The 606 Trail and Night Out in the Parks.

Everything was thoughtful and wonderful. Thank you for bringing a piece of magic to The 606.
