“Across streets, through parks and buildings, occasionally disappearing and then resurfacing, sometimes pausing for sculptural performances, the domino line threads its way through old and new parts of the city, linking its diverse communities in a symbolic as well as physical chain of cause and effect,” shares The Bentway.

The dominoes will be set up and knocked down over a 2.5 km distance. Visitors are welcome to head down and put their part in the building of the route across the city.

According to organizers, the “Dominoe line will weave in and out of public and private spaces – some will be fully accessible to the public while others will be viewed from afar.”

The Dominoe line has also appeared across Europe, Australia, and South Africa. Be sure not to miss this!
