Harry Houdini’s last sold-out performance at the Palais Royale in Toronto, on the shores of Lake Ontario, had Annual Luminato Fair audiences holding their breath and standing on their feet. The great Houdini defied death no fewer that six times over the course of his two-hour extravaganza. Said Luminato Artistic Director, Herbert Lowe, “Even Mrs. Houdini looked pretty worried, I’ll say!” — Staff
Artists on a BLIND DATE
MAI PROTOTYPE Rises in Trinity Bellwoods
ALAN Dear P,
That is a wonderful and romantic memory of a blind date—far better than any I have had. Your experience suggests a strategy for people wanting to meet other people. Go around complimenting every-thing you see—good or bad—and sooner or later the artist or maker will be standing behind you. —X
LISA Oh but I was sincere, I think it could only work that way if one was sin-cere. It was a beautiful photograph. Are you in Cambodia? Are you sincere? Yesterday I was on a highway socked in with fog listen-ing to an audio book of Persuasion and the red car that appeared suddenly in front of me, I noticed almost too late, was going ex-tremely slowly, compared to me, let’s say. Too late I remembered the flashing am-ber lights that indicate a moose. I swerved, just as Captain Wentworth was boiling over in a fit of jealousy at a concert and was storming off leaving poor Anne Elliot blushing and stuck with her dastardly cous-in, and I didn’t see the moose first nor last. Blind date with a moose. Stood up. How’s the weather in Cambodia? —PALAN Dear P,
I don’t think there are any moose in Cam-bodia. It’s quite hot here in June, in the 90s. I will write more soon. I just arrived and am jetlagged. —XLISA Hi X,
You’re using Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, does that mean you’re American? Getting curious! —PALAN Dear P,
You have been very patient with me and tolerant of my bad jokes. Americans are not the only ones who use the F scale. It is also used in the Cayman Is-lands, Palau, the Bahamas, and Belize. But you have found me out! What books are you reading now? I just finished Mortality by Christopher Hitchins. —X
LISA X, Funny I was reading an as yet unpublished novel set in the Bahamas. It will be published when it’s finished be-cause it’s mesmerizing. And I’m also reading Eva Trout, a novel by the Irish writer Elizabeth Bowen. It was written in 1968 and she died in 1973. It’s my second time reading it. Last weekend I went to a giant book giveaway, the holdings of a long-closed second-hand bookstore, in an old and abandoned schoolhouse with the windows busted out and boarded up, in an outport, an hour’s drive away. Thousands of books, in piles on the floor. Some were starting to smell mouldly.
ALAN LIGHTMAN & LISA MOORE
ALAN Hello, dear blind date. I have not had much success with blind dates in the past (or any kind of dates), so I hope to be delightfully surprised. I am leaving tomorrow morning for Cambodia. I am the director of a nonprofit organization that works to empower young women there by providing them with hous-ing and leadership training while they are attending college. Yours, —“X”
LISA Wow, X. That’s exciting work. And generous. I don’t think I’ve ever had a blind date. I was once standing in the middle of a cafe proclaiming very loudly about a framed photograph on the wall, how much I loved it. I went on and on, remarking on the composition, the quality of light, con-trast, every detail, how skilled the photog-rapher was, and finally a stranger sitting behind me stood up, tapped me on the shoulder, and told me he was the photogra-pher and asked me out to dinner. That was as blind as it ever got with me. A very ex-pensive dinner, but he couldn’t taste it be-cause he had no sense of smell. More than thirty years ago ( I was VERY young at the time) and I remeber pears glazed with ma-ple syrup. I never saw him again. He took off for Mexico in a convertible the next day. Not because of the date, I’m sure. Hope we last longer...
Welcome toLightNews !You are holding in your hands the inaugu-ral issue of LightNews, Luminato Festival’s brand new, first-ever daily newspaper. In the words of Jorn Weisbrodt, LightNews is “To-ronto’s best arts section,” and the voices in this issue and the issues to come will be proof of that. LightNews is a program of the Festival, not a promotional vehicle. All of our writers, photographers, and artists have been given free rein to speak their minds. As a result the newspaper is a sort of town square, although we think of it as a stage, which is why we’re calling it “a performance in print.” And you, the reader, have to perform as you read it, un-folding a side flap to find what hides beneath it. As you turn it and unaccordion it, you’ll find that one side is a newspaper, while the other is a magazine. Surprises abound: speed interviews with artists, behind-the-scenes di-aries, original cartoons, independent reviews of Luminato shows, blind dates between art-ists conducted via email, the Reverse Proust Questionnaire (we supplied the answers, they wrote the questions), and much more. We’re very proud of LightNews and we hope it will be a constant companion to you throughout the Festival. It’s being printed in a very limited edition of only 2500 copies, so every copy is a collectors’ item. Of course, you could always pass it around. Luminato, after all, is about spreading joy. Welcome, and happy reading!

It all began with Space Cadet, a graphic novel I wrote about the parent/child re-lationship, told through a robot guardian and his daughter who grows up to be a space explorer while he remains home on Earth. Although their daily lives are galaxies away from each other, they share a unique connection. I composed a soundtrack to Space Ca-det on piano and turntable. It’s my ver-sion of the read-along storybook records I spent countless hours escaping into as a child. The music’s tone was also greatly inspired by my daughter, who was just a few months old as I made the record-ing. Her crib was a few feet away from my piano, and I played very quietly so I wouldn’t wake her. Then I added other textural layers, resulting in “quiet-time lullabies” suited for headphone listen-ing. Last autumn, following an introduc-tion by Luminato’s Jorn Weisbrodt, I met Celine Barel, a celebrated perfumer from International Flavors & Fragrances in New York City. We discussed a possible collaboration between the Space Cadet Headphone Experience and IFF. At first I had no idea what this meant. Little did I know that I’d find a kindred spirit in an industry so far away from my own. Celine picked five scenes from the Space Cadet book as inspiration. She then went to the IFF lab, a room filled with thousands of tiny amber bottles of scent ingredients, and began her work. In our phone conversations, it was fascinating to hear Celine speak in very musical and visual terms. She knew the exact ingredients to use to create harmo-nies, high-pitched notes, light, shadow, and colour. She is able to use scent to relay a wide range of emotive concepts, from the abstract (isolation) to the oth-erworldly (the smell of a metallic robot factory). Celine has composed a pitch-perfect and personal olfactory score to the book. It’s a beautiful thing and I can’t wait for the audience at Luminato to experience it.

HOUDINI WOWS ‘EM AT SUNNYSIDE
In this issue:
The Marina Abramovic Institute Prototype arrived in Toronto last week on two flatbed trucks. A coproduction between Lumina-to Festival and Amsterdam’s Métamatic Research Initiative, the MAI Prototype is a miniature version of the Institute being built in Hudson, NY by Rem Koolhaus to house ongoing experiential research pro-gramming created by Marina Abramovic. The red-clad “tents”—seven of them—began to rise in the heart of Trinity Bell-woods the week of June 3. A massively heavy structure with a metal skeleton, the MAI Prototype comprises seven interlock-ing pavillions arranged in a circle. Patrons visiting the structure will be asked to com-mit two hours to the experience and afterwards will receive a certificate of completion. — Staff
Comix by Lorenz Peter
Dear: DiaryIf everything were free, everything would cost less. I know it sounds banal but it is the truth. The BVG (the Berlin Subway Compa-ny) calculated that if they fired all conduc-tors, got rid of all ticket vending machines, security who has to empty them, account-ing, everything that it takes to make mon-ey, and just made riding the subway free, it would save them money. Analysts cal-culated that if Smithfield, the worlds larg-est producer of pork, had to pay for all the environmental damage they cause with their hog factories, they would not make a profit anymore. Wouldn’t it make much more sense if they just let all the pigs free and closed down the factories? Don’t we know that putting on an opera is so expen-sive? Wouldn’t it make sense if we did it for free? Isn’t the opera sort of the subway of our culture? Always some drama, totally confusing, a bit stuffy, out of date, and way too slow? Isn’t it just too expensive to run this world? Wouldn’t it make more sense to make everything free? Isn’t love the great-est thing? And isn’t love free? Why do we have to pay for everything that is less great? — Jorn Weisbrodt
Why buy a ticket? Buy a ticket for what it symbolizes: your commitment to, invest-ment in, and love of live music, dance, or theatre. When you buy a ticket you make a com-mitment to be in that seat, in that venue, on that day, at that time for the duration of the performance. You make a commitment to bear witness to stars paying tribute to an even bigger star; to music taking shape and coming to life in the movements of a danc-er; to a soprano effortlessly creating the most glorious sound; to the ebb and flow of the words of a great orator; to the wonder of a sleight of hand; and to the marvel that is Marina Abramovic. When you buy a ticket you make an in-vestment (albeit small) in the art form, the performers, the venue, the local commu-nity, and the global art scene. Your invest-ment ensures that the audiences, artists, and producers of tomorrow will have the same world class venues of today to enjoy live music, dance, or theatre. Above all, when you buy a ticket you show your love of arts and culture. Isn’t love, at any cost, worth it? Go on: buy a ticket!

On the QT“One Thousand Speculations” by Montreal artist Michel de Broin, is turning David Pe-caut Square tonight into a dazzling whirling stage that will define the next ten days of Luminato Festival and the City of Toronto. It is the world’s largest mirror ball and it will make this city dance! How appropriate to open the Festival Hub with K-OS and Serena Ryder whose latest single has been augured by the New York Times as the “song of the summer”. Well, the summer starts right here, in a blast of light and music! The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic opens tonight and I have nev-er experienced such a madhouse with last minute ticket requests. Didn’t people know that this would be an amazing show? So if you have a ticket, you are lucky and will ex-perience a piece of sublime beauty and deep emotionality. Marina is also rumored to have done spiritual healing work to John Malkov-ich over the last few days after he saved the life of a fellow Torontonian. And Willem Da-foe—starring in Robert Wilson’s production of Marina’s biography—has apparently had some telepathic assistance with the healing process while rehearsing his really grueling part. Tune in tomorrow for more on the QT — Jorn Weisbrodt, Artistic Director
