an eco-mythic public spectacle

Giant spirits walk the paths of restored native ecosystems in Chicago's parklands, inviting us to reawaken the wild within.  REMNANTS weaves together ecology, history, futurity and collective awe in a site-specific movement performance. Free to the public, presented by Chicago’s Night Out in the Parks summer of 2025.
