Grand Park is teaming up with the French Los Angeles Exchange (FLAX) to present an international collaboration and dance performance by French video and performing artist Lola Gonzàlez and Los Angeles-based artists, choreographer Oguri and composer Paul Chavez.
Inspired by the complex landscape of the city, the trailblazing performance entails a traveling processional, which tackles ideas of community, collaboration and the impact of urban living. Sixty performers, a mix of professionals and nonprofessionals, will set off from several distinct locations throughout Los Angeles. Echoing recent unrest in this country and the world, the groups will march through the corridors of Downtown to gather together at the iconic Grand Park for an epic performance, punctuated by individual actions and gestures as each participant acts out their role.
The performance will commence as performers gather at 7:30pm in front of the Civic Center-Grand Park Metro Station on Hill Street between 1st and Temple. They will then proceed through Grand Park towards Grand Avenue, culminating at the The Arthur J. Will Memorial Fountain.
Prelude Journey: Expand your experience and meet the performers at 6:45 pm at one of these four meeting points to follow them on their journey to Grand Park:
- On Red and Purple line Metro platform at 7th Street Station
- On Red and Purple line Metro platform at Union Station
- On Grand Park on the lawn in front of the City Hall, between Spring and Broadway
- On the parking lot on 2nd Street, between Olive and Hill Street
