Description:
I Love A Parade explores the
transformation of the urban landscape into an assembly point for
action and celebration. Two screens display live video mixes of
parade imagery accompanied by a live audio performance by Lewis
Kaye. The scene is completed by the recreation of a parade route,
and the passage through that route by a mini-parade float being
pulled by a mysterious figure on a tricycle. I Love A Parade
invites you to join the performers in this recreation of the
parade's happy ambiance, all the while questioning the forms and
components of public spectacles.
"On ordinary days
we each walk alone or with a companion or two on the sidewalks,
and the streets are used for transit and for commerce. On
extraordinary days - on the holidays that are anniversaries of
historic and religious events and on the days we make history
ourselves - we walk together, and the whole street is for
stamping out the meaning of the day." - Rebecca Solnit:
Wanderlust, A History of Walking.
