Every city encloses another, invisible one, built on memories, stories and the experiences of those who have lived there. It is in this secret space, in the heart of the community, that the seeds of celebration flourish. Our inventive powers are nourished and our imagination generates a series of images in a display that brings to life, for one night, the wonders of a parallel world. The dreams on the city become tangible visions, architectural illuminations, startling apparitions taking flight to lighten every heavy heart, bestowing the joy of understanding, learning and remembering. During these celebrations it is not enough to suspend disbelief. We have to surrender to the rules of a time when there were no rules, and our eyes widen to take in what they have never seen before.
