Directed & Produced by John Musial
“Art on theMART brings Chicago’s legacy of public art and iconic architecture together and helps reshape the way people interact with the Chicago River, It is a fitting tribute to align the 2019 programming with the Year of Chicago Theatre; bringing new energy to the Riverwalk and honoring the cultural and artistic diversity
that theater adds to our city.”
ABOUT LIMELIGHT PARADE
Art on theMART's second commission in alignment with the Year of Chicago Theatre in June 2019 was a collaboration between theatermaker John Musial and Lucky Plush Artistic Director Julia Rhoads. The work, titled Limelight Parade, utilized fragmented choreography and script from Julia Rhoads' work with Lucky Plush, a Chicago-based dance and theater ensemble, reimagined within John Musial's layered and evocative projection design. The source material drew from Lucky Plush's Rooming House, in which varied interpretations of personal and mythic storytelling led down a rabbit hole into the lives of everyday people who do extraordinary things.
