Free Fleet

Description: Drawing inspiration from Federico Fellini and surrealist mummer dreams, Free Fleet incorporates an eclectic cast in an absurdist parade. The whimsical spectacle winds through and responds to the urban architecture while subverting pedestrian expectations.

Cast: Free Fleet

Show Dates + Times: Saturday, September 24 at 6pm

Location/Venue: This is a traveling outdoor performance, beginning on the Race Street sidewalk adjacent to the Haas Biergarten, and moving down the sidewalk and along Columbus Blvd to the Cherry Street Pier and then rewinding its path back toward the Biergarten.

Length of Show in Minutes: 40

Capacity: 500

Description of Venue: The site is outdoor, along sidewalks and crossing streets, delving into the nooks and crannies of the buildings and the piers. There is no seating. The parade may wander away from a group of viewers, if they do not travel with the performance.

Accessibility: For the best viewing, you should be able to travel on sidewalks. There are curb cuts in this area for wheelchairs. There will be no seating in place (but there are benches, curbs, stoops and small walls at various locations).

Additional Details: Pets on leash are welcome, but no bears please (we won’t make that mistake again).

Bio: We are an artist collective valuing flashy flamboyant community art that is both whimsical and hopeful, inconvenient and preposterous. As artists and performers, we create structures that allow for freedom, highlighting the ephemerality of life, the particularity of sites, and our humanity. These mercurial constructions lead to surprising outcomes and states never before imagined. We believe the magic of improvisation lies in the intangible resonance that occurs spontaneously, the embodiment of sound, and the unembodied vibrations of movement.
