Night Of Dread-Toronto-Oct 27-2007

Night of Dread is an opportunity to parade our private and collective fears through the darkened streets of the Bloor/Dufferin/College community. The procession returns to Dufferin Grove Park for an evening of ceremonial festivities that compel us to call on, mock and banish the fears that unite and divide us in these times of terror. It is an evening of pageantry, music and masquerade incorporating towering puppets, stilt dancers and fearsome masks in a daring and demonic community parade.

Night of Dread incorporates international folk and theatrical traditions timed to coincide with many festivals of death and remembrance around the world. The public is invited to join Toronto musicians, puppeteers, dancers and stilt walkers as together we laugh at our fears, real and imagined, private and public.

Where: Dufferin Grove Park is located at Bloor and Dufferin, just south of Bloor Street on the east side of Dufferin, across from the Dufferin Mall Parking Lot.
