more about Dominoes
Dominoes is a public art project produced by The Bentway and conceived by Station House Opera.
On September 22, 2024, over 300 volunteers will work to assemble a larger-than-life run of domino blocks through the city, charting a 2.5km path through downtown neighbourhoods. Anticipation builds as the moving sculpture is set up and set off, coutning down to one spectacular fall!
