The unusual art installation stretches for 2.5 kilometers from the King West district to Canoe Landing Park. The author of the project is the British theater company Station House Opera.
Ilana Altman, co-organizer of the event:
“The magic of this project is that it brings joy to everyone here. This domino playing field includes businesses and homes. It encompasses all the streets as well. So we had to get a lot of people involved. But I think everyone understood the joy this project would bring, and everyone wanted to be involved.”
250 volunteers helped to arrange the dominoes. Thousands of spectators came to watch the process. The goal of the project is to bring people together. Almost half of Canadians rarely communicate with their neighbors, which makes people feel isolated.
The art installation was built for several hours, and then it was time to destroy it. The knuckles fell for about half an hour.
Station House Opera presented its project in Canada for the first time. Before that, the company held such events in Australia, Africa and Europe.
