Boblo

by Kitchenband

About:

The project centers around Boblo Island a piece of land in the Detriot river with an incredible history, now virtually abandoned and the future sight of an elite gated community the island was once the last stop on the underground railroad, used for rum running during prohibition, and for decades was the home of a large amusement park that now lies in ruins. Through the magic of radio waves, live music, movement, projections and field recordings Boblo explores parts of this history and the traces of memory they leave behind.

Boblo blends live original music with stories and historical accounts, images and movement and pushes the boundaries of theatre and storytelling.
