EOS: The First Dawn premiers at Palladium
Thursday night, the City of Carmel proudly premiered EOS: The First Dawn, a projection-mapped art installation on the Palladium, created by Bloomington, Indiana production company, Blockhouse Studios. Crowds gathered on the lawn at Carter Green to enjoy food and beverages from local vendors then view the 12-minute immersive experience that transformed the south façade of the Palladium into a magical, mythological dream. Following the first show, cast members descended the stairs of the Palladium and met the crowd on Carter Green to perform acrobatic feats and pose for photos. Visit Blockhouse Studios' Facebook page to learn more about how the installation was created.
EOS: The First Dawn will run nightly, every half hour beginning at 9 p.m., with the last show beginning at 11 p.m. As the season changes, and nightfall occurs earlier, showtimes will be adjusted accordingly. More details can be found at this link on the City of Carmel's website.
