REDMOON’S URBAN INTERVENTION

DETAILS:
8/11 Redmoon Theater created a 13-foot wide Hawkman Prince to float 30 feet above the Bud Billiken Parade, supported by a grounded entourage of 22 Punk Birds with robot helmets and wallpapered megaphones. Only Redmoon could conceive of such a spectacle. redmoon.org.
