3. Tales at Hunter’s Point South Park
At Hunter’s Point South Park is Tales, an artistic installation presented by Cikuska and Teatrino Giullare. The installation is a tribute people who tell stories that make the passage of time more bearable. Resting atop a sculpted bird’s nest are a series of face masks, visible even at night, to represent the thousands of characters who take flight and entertain others every day.
Tales is dedicated to the memory of the Italian poet and playwright Giuliano Scabia, who famously said that “It is with love that masks sometimes reappear, but as soon as they are recognized they take refuge in the shadows from which they came. They keep the nests of dreams warm.” Visitors to Hunter’s Point can view Tales until December 8, 2022.
