Next Saturday, "Brooklyn Dreams," an artist's walk around the Atlantic Yards footprint

An announcement for “Brooklyn Dreams," performance work by Elaine Angelopoulos:

“Brooklyn Dreams” recounts the saga of how political and urban development decisions affect each individual life on multiple levels of their daily reality.

Angelopoulos will emulate the appearance of a construction worker while singing song ballads and reciting accounts of the affects of urban renewal from conversations recorded 10 years ago. As a performance that roams, Flaneur Angelopoulos will be singing while guiding the audience in a walk around the Atlantic Yards foot print, now in a neighborhood identified as “Pacific Park”.
