Gardiner Interlude
Gariboldi
When I was relatively new to Toronto, I saw some of the grittiest, most outrageously renegade theatre in this very location, looking east from Strachan under the Gardiner Expressway. I remember that there was a didgeridoo in the small band, and that the ambient sound of the highway overhead made for challenging listening. But Shakespeare can be like that at the best of times: absorbing all your faculties! The theatrical mood obviously made an impression, and was on my mind as I shot a few pictures in the fading light of a recent summer evening, and then returned the next morning to record. Inadvertantly I placed the recorder a little too far away, although the sound of the flute overwhelmed by the din of the traffic somehow serves to accentuate the atmosphere of this cavernous, urban space.
