Cesar C Cordoba's ethereal sounds on accordion and keyboards will weave through the beginning of our journey, then lead us through the city along with a kinetic sculpture/puppet entitled "Word Birds" — a representation of the mechanization of societies.

The bird is a metaphor for the word and the voice rising above the gears, which represent the mechanical, the industrial. Art, theatre, poetry, storytelling, and imagination soar above that machinery — above so-called 'reality.'
