Sir Walter Raleigh Stands guard today at the Raleigh Art on the Edge festival held in Lictin Plaza. Sir Walter used to stand guard at the end of Fayetteville Street before they opened it back up to traffic again. Downtown Raleigh is coming along with the new Convention Center and places to live and eat etc. Anyways, it was a great day to be outdoors
.
Not humid, partly sunny, and not too hot. Not real August weather for sure. Sir Walter is in front of a giant walk-through series of connected pods. The pods are like the kids bouncy things without the bounce. Each pod is a different color. Very cool.
"A creation of England's Architects of Air, under the direction of Alan Parkinson, Levity III is a stimulating 10,000 square foot kaleidoscope of liquid light and color. Inspired by Gothic cathedrals and Islamic architecture, the luminarium is made up of labyrinthine tunnels and spacious domes which invite visitors to lose themselves in a complete sensory immersion. Installations by Architects of Air have received rave reviews throughout the world and have collectively drawn millions of awe-inspired visitors to experience these truly unique pieces of art."
Kevin was tired, so he laid down to take a nap. He looks a little blue don't you think. Probably cause he is having a birthday soon and he is almost turning 50 like Madonna and Prince and Michael Jackson.
We also got to see the Show by Strange Fruit. A group from Australia who climb 13 foot flexible poles and perform.
There is no dialog, just music and great facial expressions and big gestures.
"Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Strange Fruit will captivate the audience as four cast members bend and sway, presenting Swoon! while perched atop flexible poles four meters in the air. Their work is a fusion of theatre, dance and circus. Originally based on the image of a field of wheat swaying in the breeze, the poles' extreme strength and flexibility allow performers to bow to impossible angles, swaying back and forth in a hypnotising dance as the audience looks up in wonder. The company has achieved near-cult status in almost every continent across the globe, having performed in over 40 countries and at over 300 international festivals and events. Their sublime, hypnotic beauty is truly remarkable and must be experienced to appreciate its full effect."
So, if you didn't get to see them this time, maybe they will come back with a full show.
