Thalia Hall S Garage Hosts A Minifest In A Maze

• Evidence that the maze is in a garage

Just right of the staircase that leads up to Thalia Hall‘s concert space is an intimate garage space, and for the next three weeks it’ll be home to You Are Here Festival, a visual art-cum-music festival that takes place in a maze. The folks behind You Are Here started building the maze last Friday, and when I went to Thalia Hall yesterday they were finishing up putting everything in place for its debut tonight. The walls of the maze are empty black wooden frames that stretch from the floor to the ceiling. Webs of colorful nylon twine take up the empty space in each frame; the twine is taut, providing an obstacle for anyone trying to walk through a maze wall, but leaving more than enough space for attendees to get a full scope of everything in the maze.
