In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre is proud to host a premiere
showing of three short films by filmmakers Mike Rivard, Will Hommeyer and
Daniel Polsfuss exploring the first 40+ years of our MayDay Parade, Ceremony
and Festival. Each film represents the unique artistic perspective of one of
these filmmakers. The event will raise funds to support MayDay 2016.
Digging deep into the archives, these films use music, interviews, location
video, archived photography and graphics to bring to life the astounding
history and impact of 40 years of MayDay. With support from the McKnight
Foundation, the films tell the MayDay story from three points of view: The
artistry and artists as they develop the spectacle through the unique visual
language that is HOBT, the content as a social/political response to the times,
and the community created when hundreds of artists, children, families and
production volunteers work together to create the event that happens year after
year for tens of thousands to experience and enjoy. Share the inspiration,
perspiration, struggle, excitement, occasional disappointment and constant joy
that comes up every spring in the creation of the Mayday Parade, Ceremony and
Festival.
