Sleepless Night Miami was a fascinating event of Miami culture, music, and performances. The usual Lincoln galleries were open and street performers were out and about, as well as The Poem Depot and a “starving” composer performance art piece (my personal favorite) - everything in South Beach carried a cultural theme into the brittle-lit hours of the night.
From eccentric art and found theatre to the free esspresso shots being given out to keep the crowd going, the night was wired. Each street seemed to have carried its own sound with it: classical on Washington, rock on Lincoln, jazz in the alleys - even the echoes sang songs of their own.
Above all else, Project Bandaloop’s wall performance on the New World Center was awe-inspiring. Pieces of humanity and daily progression were performed under the weighing gravity of the night’s gaze (and rain). The music was explosive, the dancers were fluid, and the evening in its entirety was an aurora of cultivated culture.
Above are two snapshots of the Bandaloop performance, along with my escape from a maze. Photos by my good friend Alec.
