Local Artists Celebrate musician Weird Al’s Arrival in Halifax with Marionettes of the man through the Ages
Opening Reception 2:30 – 5:30pm, Friday, July 24th
Weird Al is coming to Halifax so we thought it only
fitting to showcase a series of hand-carved and painted marionettes by Darren
and Julie Moreash in honour of his arrival between July 22nd and July 30th.
These works are sure to tickle your funny bone and remind you that it's
important to play and laugh everyday! The opening
reception will be held on FRIDAY, July 24th, 2:30-5:30pm, as a lead up to the
second concert that Weird Al will perform in Halifax. We want to invite
EVERYONE to drop by for some fun.
These unique works have been created based on popular Weird Al music video persona's that Al has portrayed in the past. BEAT IT! EAT IT! LIKE A SURGEON and more! Expect polka and fun and lots of candy too- so bring yourself and your family downtown and party like it's 1984 ish...and beyond! DON'T MISS THE 45 seconds Marionette shows planned to happen on the hour on the hours of 3pm,4pm and 5pm! A small stage was created to facilitate the marionettes in all their glory. LIVE MUSIC will be provided by Mike Diabo of the Urban Surf Kings fame... via the next best instrument other than the accordion...the UKE!
