CELEBRATE THE AUTUMN EQUINOX

CELEBRATE THE AUTUMN EQUINOX

Stony Creek Quarry in Branford, CT will once again be the location of Projects2k's 2013 spectacular Terra Tractus - the Earth Moves ~ a dynamic multimedia epic.  Projects 2K (Projects for a New Millennium) well known for the Quarry Spectacles produced in the Stony Creek Quarry is collaborating with Stony Creek Quarry Corporation to bring this multimedia production to the historic Branford quarry.  This autumn equinox event will take place Thursday - Sunday, September 19 - 22  at 6pm.  General admission tickets are $35.  VIP tickets which include a gourmet dinner provided by LaCuisine, wines, commemorative memorabilia, and premium seating are available for $125.

The 2013 extravaganza marks the 20th anniversary of Projects2k and the performance will feature the geological and human history of the Quarry/Connecticut and our geological connection to the world through a dynamic production to include light, laser, projections, music, and more.  Collaborating on this project are Geologists from the Yale School of Geology and Geophysics.  Project2ks last multimedia show (2005), TERRA MIRABILA - If Rocks Could Dream - told the geological story of the recipe of Stony Creek Granite from the beginning of known time into the future.  Their events are always widely anticipated and continue to amaze all who attend. 

The magnificent, awe-inspiring Stony Creek Quarry has been providing their unique pink granite for over 150 years and is estimated to contain enough for another 200 years.  The granite can be found at the base of the Statue of Liberty, in Grand Central Station, Grants Tomb and the West Point Monument.  Click here to watch a video on Projects2k and past productions.

TERRA TRACTUS has received a $30,000 matching grant from the CT Department of Economic and Community Development - Office of the Arts and a $10,000 grant from The David Bermant Foundation towards the match.  You can help, too! Join at any level to help make this exciting, educational, entertaining event happen.

Projects for a New Millennium was established in 1993 by Joy Wulke, environmental artist, as a non-profit corporation to create collaborative events that foster the fusing of art, science, and ecological concerns as a means of discovery, appreciation, and stewardship of the natural world. Projects for a New Millennium and its collaborators continue to aspire to extend presentations and educational programming illustrating a useful and wondrous philosophy of life, a worldview that celebrates our differences while recognizing the importance of our timeless common goals of peace and freedom in an environmentally sound world.
