About the Work

ART on THE MART’s winter programming for 2020 featured a projection inspired by The Joffrey Ballet’s The Nutcracker, allowing visitors along Chicago’s Riverwalk to experience scenes from the holiday classic set to Tchaikovsky’s famous score. Representing the innovation, ingenuity, and hope of Chicago, the production featured the work of Tony Award-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.
