SUMMARY:Canadian Film Night at Campus Martius Park
DESCRIPTION:Metro Detroiters and Windsor-area residents are invited to experience an unforgettable evening of storytelling\, culture\, and cross-border camaraderie as Canadian Film Night at Campus Martius Park brings two acclaimed films to the heart of downtown Detroit. The free double feature is presented through a dynamic partnership between the Windsor International Film Festival (WIFF) and the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP). \nThis unique cinematic event is part of a broader Windsor–Detroit binational collaboration initiative\, an effort focused on deepening cultural exchange\, increasing regional connectivity and fostering shared economic opportunity between two globally minded border cities. From art to industry\, this cross-border movement is fueled by an alliance of public\, private and nonprofit partners\, including the Downtown Detroit Partnership\, Consulate General of Canada\, the City of Detroit\, the City of Windsor\, Visit Detroit\, Tourism Windsor Essex Pelee Island\, the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce\, Invest Windsor Essex\, Rocket Companies\, and Windsor Tunnel. This initiative builds on decades of cooperation and intentional commitment between the two cities to advance a globally creative\, competitive\, and inclusive binational region to thrive on the world stage. \nThe double feature Canadian Film Night lineup will present the following: \n  \n\nAny Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story – A Peabody Award Winner and WIFF Prize in Canadian Film nominee\, this stirring documentary is a tribute to the life and legacy of trailblazing soul singer Jackie Shane\, whose story of identity and resilience continues to inspire.\n\n  \n\nHumanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person – A WIFF Prize in Canadian Film winner\, this genre-defying\, darkly comedic French-language film (with English subtitles) explores unlikely connection through a surreal\, emotionally rich lens.\n\n  \nFilms begin at 7 p.m. at Campus Martius Park\, ranked the No. 1 public square in the country for three consecutive years. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs and enjoy this cinematic evening under the stars right in the heart of Detroit. Events like the Canadian Film Night continue to affirm the park’s national reputation as a premier destination for arts\, culture\, and community engagement. \n

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in Detroit's “The Tempest” at Campus Martius Park
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare in Detroit’s Summer 2023 mainstage production The Tempest\, directed by Sam White is coming to Campus Martius Park\, Aug. 11-13 and Aug. 18-20. Shows start at 7:30 p.m. and admission is FREE. Youth performances of MacBeth will also be held in Campus Martius Park on Aug. 11 and Aug. 12 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. \nAudiences are encouraged to bring their own blanket or lawn chair. All seating is general admission for all performances. \nThe Tempest is presented by Gilbert Family Foundation with support from The Downtown Detroit Partnership\, Strategic Staffing Solutions and Greektown Casino. \nShow Summary \nThe Tempest gives us a magician\, Prospero\, a former DJ and host of a popular dance show in Milan (Detroit)\, who was displaced by his treacherous brother\, Antonio. Prospero is exiled on an island\, where his only companions are his daughter\, Miranda\, the spirit Ariel\, and the monster Caliban. When his enemies are among those caught in a storm near the island\, Prospero turns his power upon them through Ariel and other spirits. \nThe characters exceed the roles of villains and heroes. Prospero seems heroic\, yet he enslaves Caliban and has an appetite for revenge. Caliban seems to be a monster for attacking Miranda but appears heroic in resisting Prospero. Miranda’s engagement to Ferdinand\, the Prince of Naples and a member of the shipwrecked party\, helps resolve the drama. \nShakespeare in Detroit’s The Tempest is a non-stop celebration of Techno music\, founded in Detroit in the mid-eighties & also inspired by the iconic The New Dance show. \nProspero is inspired by the founding fathers of techno and is a fusion between the sonic magic they created and the innovation of Detroit’s dance scene. \nThree dancers serve as spirits of the isle representing the music and magic of the iconic force known as Techno music created by the real-life magician Juan Atkins\, the pioneer of Techno music\, along with Derrick May\, and Kevin Saunderson. \nThe goddesses are inspired by Lawanda\, KeKe and Yvonne (Juno\, Iris and Ceres)\, popular Detroit dancers from The New Dance Show whose movement innovation changed the way the world vibes. \nA live DJ helps move the story along from one Shakespearean moment to the next. \nThis production is dedicated to all the Black originators whose artistry\, ideas and magic have shifted the culture. \nPLEASE NOTE: If you sit in the front lawn area you may get splashed with water in scene 1. Please sit in another area if you do not want to be splashed with water from the actors. \nFor more information\, visit Shakespeareindetroit.com.
