Mar 23, 2024 12:00 PM to Apr 20, 2024, 10:00 PM Location: 2015 US Route 9, Garrison, NY 10524 This year’s procession completes a trilogy of environmental themes that began with earth (“A Reawakened Landscape”), looked up to the sky, with last year’s “Ad Astra,” and now explores the waters with “Full Fathom Five.” Drawing inspiration from the streams, wetlands, lakes, and rivers of the Hudson River Estuary, “Full Fathom Five” brings a host of local fish and native aquatic wonders to life as articulated lantern puppets. “Full Fathom Five" reminds us of transformational power of water – to shape land, to nurture new life, and to return us to our most basic elements – even as we recognize the unprecedented fragility of our rivers, streams, and oceans in a changing climate.
