CHAOS CHOIR: DARK is a mischievous, immersive theater and musical performance marking our passage into the dark half of the year. Through a chorus of voices, masks, movement, ghost lore, myth, and the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, the Choir invites you to gather at the threshold between the known and unknown—and enter the dark together. About the Event The performance will take place at Fred Fletcher Park, beginning inside the historic Borden Building, before leading audiences through the park to the stone seat amphitheater. Admission is free, but registration is required. CHAOS CHOIR: DARK is sponsored by SEEK Raleigh, an experimental public art program by Raleigh Arts that engages the community through public art in City of Raleigh Parks, greenways, and/or community spaces.
