Inspired by the chess tables in City Hall Park, acrobats, jugglers, tight rope walkers, and a bearded lady evoke the grit and cheap sparkle of a Mexican circus. Together these characters perform a series of acts illustrating the political subtext in a game of chess. Led by a marching band, the audience travels with the performers from the west side of City Hall Park to the Brooklyn Bridge. Musicians perform alternative and punk rock. Exploring space and social interaction, Available Space uncovers the fantasies and secrets of our society. | |||||
