Lichtin Plaza at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts will come alive from August 21 - 23 with ART!
With everything from local bands on the verge of making it big, theatrical companies to international thespians - ART ON THE EDGE will be a sensory explosion!
A few shows that I know I WON'T MISS are Levity III by England's Architects of Air. Levity III should prove to be a breathtaking luminarium made up of labyrinthine tunnels and spacious domes allowing one to lose themself in complete sensory immersion. To check out more about Architects of Air check out their website. Also, here is an excerpt from just one review of their "work".:
Arcazzar. Like all Parkinson's luminaria, is entered through an airlock. You'll find a central chamber, around which are arranged three linked domes - red, blue and green - and the two columns: red and blue. It's all rather more complex than that: there are oblique "horns" to deliver daylight into the interior, for instance, and the whole thing is so convoluted that the ground plan of the structure looks rather like a giant raspberry - or alternatively, a slice through the human brain.
Truly fascinating!
Another show for me that will be a not miss is The Existents! The Existents is a musical that is a view of life told through a fictitious rocks band's trials and tribulations. The characters represent one's own mind, heart, body, spirit and soul. To check out more about the show please visit the NC Theatre website.
For a complete schedule of performers please visit the Art on the Edge website.
Admission varies from one performance to another.
Have fun! Explore downtown Raleigh!
