( 芝加哥時報 / 快訊 ）中西部規模最大的免費表演藝術節「芝加哥現場秀」（Chicago Live!）將於今年秋天盛大回歸，連續兩天的活動將在九月二十日（週六）與二十一日（週日）於海軍碼頭舉行。這場盛事已邁入第五年，屆時將有超過一百個芝加哥當地的表演團體、藝術家與表演藝術組織參與，在五大舞台上帶來一百場精彩演出，預計將吸引超過十萬名芝加哥居民和外地遊客前往。

為慶祝五週年，本屆「芝加哥現場秀」的重頭戲是五部委託創作的世界首演，涵蓋從原創音樂到令人驚嘆的舞蹈表演。參與首演的藝術家和團體包括芝加哥焦爾丹舞團（Giordano Dance Chicago）、芝加哥空中舞蹈團（Aerial Dance Chicago）、小號演奏家維克多·加西亞（Victor Garcia）、莫曼塔舞團（Momenta Dance Company）以及由羅素·維尼克（Russell Vinick）擔任音樂總監的湖岸交響樂團（Lake Shore Symphony Orchestra）。此外，本次活動還將把表演場地延伸至密西根湖上，部分演出將在海岸線觀光遊船上舉行，其中音樂劇團Music Theatre Works將於九月二十日（週六）下午兩點在船上帶來一場完整的音樂劇表演。

「芝加哥現場秀」由普利茲克基金會（Pritzker Foundation）主辦，並獲得人民瓦斯（Peoples Gas）的贊助支持。該活動於2021年創辦，旨在疫情長達十八個月的封鎖後，重新將觀眾與芝加哥蓬勃發展的表演藝術社群連結起來。短短五年內，該藝術節規模已擴大一倍以上，從首屆的四十三個表演團體增長至今年的超過一百個團體和個人藝術家。
