  • This might be the first time I've actually attended Luminato, though I may not have, had it not been my friend volunteering for it and I was able to use the "staff parking". The idea to use of this abandoned Hearn Generating Station is actually super cool. There was a section for a theatre (ticketed), a Situation Room experience (ticketed), they built a stage for other live performances (ticketed), and they used the upstairs (The Trove) as a gallery to display what Toronto has to offer and what it would look like had it been displayed at The Hearn (free). I got a chance to see the James Plays performed by the National Theatre of Scotland and it was fabulous to see that these actors basically perform 11-hours each day the plays are on to put on all three plays in one day. I also managed to enter the Hearn at a time when people were gathering around for a free tour of the Trove led by Luminato artistic director Jorn Weisbrodt, along with guest speakers who spoke about specific pieces of work in the gallery, including: director and editor of Project Grizzly, and professors from University of Toronto's medical illustration department They also utilized the outdoor space for a beer garden and live music (free), there even was an art installation outside where they put a beehive on a sculpture that normally sits at the AGO. Walking in here each time gave me an eerie feeling, but mostly because I was a single person in this 400,000 square feet space. And it was also much cool inside the building than outside. The only problem with Luminato being at this defunct powerplant is it's not easy to get to. If someone went the TTC way, it only gets you to Cherry and Unwin, it would actually take at least 30 minutes walk to get to the Hearn. While Luminato did offer free shuttle bus service between Union Station and The Hearn, it was disorganized. I walked by many people who asked volunteers when the shuttle buses arrives. The response was that there's no specific time. It doesn't help shuttle bus riders to plan their time at the Hearn effectively. Driving would have been the most effective especially if you don't actually live in Toronto but parking is $15. I had a great time here for Luminato 2016, I look forward to see if Luminato will continue to use the Hearn for next year and if transport issues will be resolved.
