Big Umbrella Festival returns this April as Lincoln Center welcomes kids, teens and young adults for a weekend of programming designed with and for neurodiverse audiences. Launched in 2018, the Big Umbrella Festival centers audiences by sharing unique approaches to multi-sensory, interactive and engaging artistic experiences. This year's events include a collaboration with ReelAbilities Film Festival, the largest festival in the world dedicated to showcasing ground-breaking films by and about people with disabilities; a thrilling interactive dance piece with music, Playful Tiger; Motus' TREE, A World in Itself, a multi-sensory, interactive universe enveloped in soft light, music and silence; a piano concert by award-winning artist Lachi; and Architects of Air’s Daedalum, an experiential labyrinth for guests to explore with winding tunnels and colorful domes.
