 easing the blind while wagging culture in front of more than a million aesthetes – temporary and otherwise – Luminato is back for its second year. Last year, over a million people took in a huge variety of events and spectacles from a number of disciplines, including film, music, dance, theatre, and literature.
For its ten-day run, the festival takes over myriad venues, from public squares (i.e. Yonge and Dundas and Nathan Phillips) to performing arts spaces (i.e. Molson Amphitheatre and the Four Seasons Centre). Ballerinas will prance, writers will lecture, guitarists will strum, and audiences will be titillated.
Highlights include the Canadian Songbook at Massey Hall, which sees singer-songwriters like Ron Sexsmith, Luke Doucet, and Danny Michel grace the same stage; the Political Graphic Novel, a look at, um, graphic novels and their, well, political role; Green Flag Song, an exhibit of Joni Mitchell’s visual art; and Luminato at the Distillery, a cultural feast on cobble stones. Many Luminato events are free of charge, so you have no excuses. –S.T.
