The Floating Pavilion is a multi-purpose structure designed to stage a variety of experimental productions. As the pavilion is pulled by tugboat from city to suburb, it supports a wide range of plays, musical festivals, and poetry recitations. Unlike a typical fixed structure, the stage and double spiral canopy evoke a multitude of images as they move through the landscape, simultaneously shifting itself and shifting the image of its surroundings.
