A four week illumination and sound installation to provide a family-friendly and physically-distant celebration at the famed Hatch Memorial Shell. “Hatched” cut through the darkness of the winter months, offering a public space for joy and optimism in the New Year. The work was an original 15-minute visual and sound performance led by Boston-based creative Maria Finkelmeier of MF Dynamics and is shaped specifically for the 80-year-old amphitheater itself.
