On Saturday, September 10, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in Carroll Hall, we invite the community to view and discuss the film Man on Wire [see trailer here]. This Academy-Award winning documentary tells the story of Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire dance between the two towers of the World Trade Center. Petit's 45-minute "artistic crime of the century," as he calls it, took six years to plan, stopped traffic around the World Trade Center, and made headlines around the world. The film allows us to re-experience the towers through the intimate, poetic, and joyful feelings generated by Petit's audacious act.
Discussion will be moderated by Elizabeth Rundquist, psychotherapist and artist.
On Sunday, September 11 we invite the community to a labyrinth walk beginning at 5:00 p.m. and an interfaith healing service for all faiths beginning at 6:30 p.m. in Carroll Hall.
Absolutely everyone is invited to attend these events.
