Runaway Moon Theatre & Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Present:
OUT OF THE DARKNESS A Lantern Procession in the Salmon Life-Cycle Theme!
Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is working with Runaway Moon Theatre to bring forth a special event to ‘lighten up’ the community and help people through the doldrums. On the evening of February 20th at 7pm, we invite you to join us for a Winter Lantern Procession featuring salmon life-cycle themed lanterns. This will be a snowy version of the popular Floating Lantern Celebration which has often happened in September but has been made impractical by changes in climate.
The walk will begin at the Enderby Bridge, proceeding along the Enderby Riverwalk to Riverside Campground, where lantern bearers will encounter predator species, hear a natural soundscape, and end up with a hot chocolate and a shadow show reward!
Ahead of the procession, we need as many lanterns to be made as possible by the community. They can come in many forms -simple egg lanterns to more complex fish shaped lanterns made of bamboo. You may even wish to contribute to our giant 15-foot spawning salmon lantern which will arrive at Kingfisher Hall, Feb 6th. Come to our workshop opening Tea Party on Feb.1 between 1 and 4 PM at the Enderby and District Arts Council (EDAC) space on Cliff St. and find out what we’re up to!
We’ll be occupying various art making spaces at the Salmon Arm Gallery, EDAC, and Kingfisher Hall over the first few weeks of February to offer instructional sessions and drop in lantern making opportunities. Please see the poster below for locations, dates, and times:
