Crime Scene: Breathe Life
See bigger map
Collaboraction, the Chicago theater community’s “Ambassadors of Hope,” continues to spread its message of peace, art, love, hope and fun throughout Chicago with Crime Scene: Breathe Life, the company’s third annual, free Chicago Park District Night Out in the Parks summer tour, playing every Thursday and Friday night in August at four different Chicago Park District venues, beginning on August 6th and 7th at Hamilton Park.
The one hour Crime Scene: Breathe Life viscerally re-examines Chicago’s history of violent crime, while sharing five intimate portraits of real Chicagoans who have used their first-hand experiences with violence to become peacemakers and be a positive impact in the lives of others. Ultimately, Crime Scene: Breathe Life asks Chicago residents “what do you see?” when it comes to the city’s current crime epidemic, and challenges Chicagoans to discover new ways to work together to create lasting change.
Friday night shows will be preceded by a special youth afternoon workshop called Crime Scene: The Next Generation. Young residents in the community are encouraged to come learn how to make devised theatre, and then they will be integrated into the on-stage performance that evening.
Also on Fridays, starting at 5 p.m., Collaboraction will present their signature Dome of Dance battle-dance tournament with DJ Shon Roka and a FREE Community Meal sponsored by Connie’s Pizza – a full spread – for 250 people.
Every performances is followed by a Town Hall discussion featuring a panel of Chicago Peace Movement leaders from groups such as Formers Anonymous, Example Setters, Y-Men, R.A.G.E. and I Grow Chicago
