Theatre Y: The Camino Project

Sunday (Sept. 1) 3-6 p.m.

Humboldt Park, 1813 N. Milwaukee Ave.

Through Sept. 22 — “The Camino Project” is a piece about pilgrimage that is a collective walking experience, communal meal and site-specific theatrical performance. Conceived by Evan Hill, directed by Melissa Lorraine, and featuring the choreography of the Serbian/Hungarian dancer/choreographer duo Denes Döbrei and Heni Varga, the piece is devised with a 14-person ensemble. The idea for The Camino Project emerged from Theatre Y’s pilgrimage across Spain’s Camino de Santiago. The event will begin and end at Ipsento 606 at 1813 N Milwaukee Ave., adjacent to Park 567 on the 606. Information can be found at www.theatre-y.com. The event is presented as a part of the city of Chicago’s Year of Chicago Theatre. Check out YOCT events at https://chicagoplays.com/year-of-chicago-theatre/.
