If you are looking to experience a truly fantastic summer performance, be sure to check out FANTASMAGORIE, a Chicago-based performance at Humboldt Park that will be taking place on Friday and Saturday evenings from July 22nd – August 6th. The event is being produced by the Curmudgeon Group, with Richter Studios providing the film sequence backdrop.
FANTASMAGORIE is a free performance series and conservation campaign that brings to life the Amazon Rainforest and Coral Reef through live dance, film, music, and projection mapping set on the water.

This free series is a highlight of the 2016 Night Out in the Parks summer program.
