Redmoon Theater produces live performances that combine contemporary art and traditional theatrical forms. Using masks, huge puppets, acrobatics, and whimsical mechanical devices, Redmoon creates theatrical spectacles that take place on stages and in public spaces such as streets, parks, and in architectural landmarks. Redmoon, in partnership with the City of Chicago, is presenting the second annual Great Chicago Fire Festival. The Festival will use various art forms to facilitate and document the resiliency and diversity of the city and its people. This year the Festival includes a series of free community arts programs and events around the city, arts residencies in seven Chicago Park Districts, and will culminate with a day-long, free public event on September 25th on Northerly Island. This grant funds activities related to the planning and execution of the Great Chicago Fire Festival.

Redmoon Theater produces live performances that combine contemporary art and traditional theatrical forms. Using masks, huge puppets, acrobatics, and whimsical mechanical devices, Redmoon creates theatrical spectacles that take place on stages and in public spaces such as streets, parks, and in architectural landmarks. Its performances are collaborative in nature and encourage non-traditional theater audiences to forge new relationships between fellow audience members, the work itself, and the location in which it takes place. This grant supports artistic, education, outreach, and operations activities.
