Tonight, in celebration of May Day, the Anunnaki Project is putting on a free performance from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. in Cal Anderson Park.
On May 1, 2009, The Anunnaki Project will present Daedalus Rising, a celebratory performance recognizing the organizations 10-year anniversary. All are invited to see performances by members of The Cabiri performance troupe and their students. May Day will also mark the debut of Daedalus, the organizations freestanding aerial dance structure. Daedalus (made possible by a 2008 grant from King County 4Culture) stands an imposing 19 tall and 30 wide, and can support up to six aerialists.
In addition to awe-inspiring displays on Daedalus, the event will feature stilt walkers, fire performers, and several theatrical works from the organizations repertoire. Choreographer Christl Marcontell has returned to the organization for the epic finale At the Dawn of Chu, and choreographer Erin Simons will present her first work with the company in Benandanti. Guest performing artists and musicians include the Radost Folk Ensemble, James Whetzel, percussionist Kevin Cook, The Lets Dance! House Band, Cirque du Flambe founder Maque daVis, The Red King, Dyno the Aerialist, and Zita the Aerialist.
I was over at the park earlier and saw the structure they’re building. It looks like it could be pretty exciting!

You are so lucky …
I thought we were supposed to avoid crowded places. A public park? With public people? Aren’t performances supposed to be done somewhere you can charge enough to keep the riff-raff out?
What a night!
