“Loving with reckless abandon is the best act of revolution
Because we are less different than we are the same
Because there is no game to win
It is just this interconnectedness that blesses us.”
‒ Rachel Kann
“While FLIGHT 18 is not a children’s show, it is a great chance to find your inner child.” – nycgo.com
FLIGHT 18 is a multi-arts space travel experience in which a flight crew of performing artists and a rotating lineup of disc jockeys lead an audience of passengers on a trip through the cosmos. FLIGHT 18 is a playground that encourages passengers to put aside any and all limitations in order to share in the creation of a wider, freer community.
Following a decade of development and a workshop production with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in 2010, Eric Wallach, FLIGHT 18’s creator and director, has cast the audience as an integral part of the experience. FLIGHT 18 gathers content and choreography generated by passengers for inclusion in the visual and audio landscape while balancing the spontaneous combustion of the riders with poems, songs, dances and rehearsed bits.
FLIGHT 18 is a populist sport, multilingual and multicultural. Our seats range in price from $18 to $56. Cyber-passengers are welcome on the Spaceship Kaleidoscope as well enabling all to interact with people from around the world via Skype and text. Pilots can instantly intersperse images and text generated during the flight while mixing voices, videos, sounds and light in real time.
FLIGHT 18 supports the broadening global community who are ready to enjoy and enrich our cooperative cosmic joyride.
