CAMOC is proud to partner with artist Irene Hsiao to bring Guardians of the Earth and Sky to Chicago’s parks this summer!

This is an interactive, all-ages journey with the Four Celestial Guardians: the White Tiger of the West, Black Tortoise of the North, Azure Dragon of the East, and Vermilion Bird of the South.

Through storytelling, music, dance, tai chi, and art-making, you’ll explore connections between seasons, elements, colors, and constellations. Led by Irene and a multicultural ensemble of artists — fluent in languages from Mandarin and Cantonese to Spanish, Korean, and Swahili — this performance invites you to not just watch, but participate: walk alongside the Guardians, sing, move, and create your own headpiece to wear in the procession.
