The geometric laser lights from my childhood and ‘hands in the air’ dance parties of my 20s are most certainly gathering dust in a technology junkyard. Driving home last night I was rather wowed by the Lights of Christmas light and soundscape performance at St Mary’s Cathedral. In true post-European travel style, I pronto U-turned over the thickest of double lines to capture the rest of the show.
I was in my five year old happy place. Light and colour painted constellations danced amongst the spires, candles and poinsettias, butterflies, falling eucalyptus leaves, writhing ivy, cascading wind swept sands and Escher altered architecture. All in a highly saturated colour palette evolving to ethereal music on the Cathedral’s soaring facade.
Executive Producer, Anthony Bastic’s done a superb job of putting Christmas on the map for Sydney with his team. I Google’d everything but unfortunately was unable to locate the creatives behind the project.
