Weaving together ecology, history, futurity, and collective awe in a site-specific spectacle performance, Wender Collective's REMNANTS is an encounter with Chicago's ancient ecosystems. Audiences follow “spirits of the place” in the form of giant puppets representing the remnant prairies, wetlands, savannas, and woodlands that once covered our region. Converging on a central performance at dusk, REMNANTS kindles opportunities for renewal and rewilding in the face of grief and loss. Free native plants and educational materials will be available at each performance. www.wendercollective.org
