Manhattan West Plaza, 385 9th Avenue, Midtown
This holiday season, gather around an electrifying urban campfire on Manhattan West Plaza comprised of 220 light bulbs that flicker and come to life in response to spectators’ movements. Stir the virtual embers by swaying and dancing within this interactive art installation, which in turn creates a luminous experience full of warmth, light, and music for all to enjoy. On select Wednesdays, performances and photo ops will take place around the campfire.
Performance Schedule – details to be announced:
Island of Warmth by Atomic3 is a coproduction of Quartier des Spectacles Partnership and MONTRÉAL EN LUMIÈRE, and is distributed by QDSinternational.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Based in Montreal, Canada, ATOMIC3 is a creative design studio founded by director Félix Dagenais and lighting designer Louis-Xavier Gagnon-Lebrun that brings together artists from all backgrounds to create unique experiences that put visitors into the heart of the story.
Whether interactive or contemplative, ATOMIC3’s creations transform public spaces to connect with people in their daily lives, inviting viewers to see the world and their environment with new eyes. Outside the “black box” of the theatre, audience members become actors and stories become participatory works, where the physical world, light, music and new technologies come together.
