Yvon Bonenfant: Beacons
Friday + Saturday, May 29 + 30, 8 PM
Free + Open to the Public
Beacons is an homage: to love, to loss, to the act of longing. Extended vocalist Yvon Bonenfant combines the astonishing and virtuosic range of his human instrument with the magical and winsome qualities of flashing light to explore the notion of voice as signal and of light as reaching. “Humans leave beacons behind when they can’t be there,” says Bonenfant.
