Hello,
Just thought I would pass this info along, it seems like a great opportunity. I am pasting the link below the description that lists
all of the events by location.
Inspired in Paris' Nuit Blanche, "La Noche en Vela" (Sleepless Night or White Night), that will take place on Saturday March 26, 2011, from 7:00 pm until sunrise in Buenos Aires, will offer a unique opportunity to walk, look, listen, participate, enjoy and rediscover the city in one night through art and culture, in the same way as happens every year in Paris, Madrid, Berlin, St. Petersburg or Toronto.
"La Noche en Vela" will feature over 100 proposals in 60 artistic-cultural meeting points of Buenos Aires. Music, theater, dance, video projections and monumental multimedia installations are the main attractions. In addition, a hundred bars, restaurants and pizzerias in the city will join the party extending their hours and offering special menus.
"La Noche en Vela" will offer the magic of Elena Roger and the excellence of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra at the Obelisk. The folklore of Coplanacu Duo and a tango show in a vertical stage. Monumental light installations at the Obelisk, the Faculty of Law, the Planetarium and other buildings, followed by fireworks. A giant video game and a Digital Zoo on Avenida de Mayo. Theater plays in the Palacio Barolo and the Botanical Garden. A 3D Mapping projection on the entrance of the cemetery of Recoleta. World music in the notable bars of the city. Contemporary dance and experimental music in Plaza Francia. And much more.
All these and many other activities will be free of charge, and will make this an unforgettable night for the Buenos Aires culture, celebrating the creativity of the artists, the diversity of proposals and public participation of all ages.
The hop-on hop-off tourist bus service of Buenos Aires will be available during the "sleepless night". They will depart every half hour from the corner of Florida and Avenida Roque Sáenz Peña.
Highlights of the Sleepless Night:
Elena Roger and The Earth Hour: As part of the sleepless night, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and Wildlife Foundation adhere to the proposal of Earth Hour, which invites cities across the world to turn off the lights of buildings and iconic landmarks for one hour. In Buenos Aires, he event will start with songs by the extraordinary Argentine artist Elena Roger, at 8.15pm. At 8.30pm, after the countdown, the lights of the public buildings will be switched off and a show of taikos, traditional Japanese drums, will start. Simultaneously, people will be able to see the performance Light Trip (fragments) by the company Babel that uses laser, leds, dances and actors, within a live set of perceptions. At 9.30pm, the event finishes with fireworks.
