Blackpool Illuminations: Wishing Star by Toyah
Toyah, who has did pretty much everything through her 50-year career has come up with something completely innovative and different to anything that’s gone before during that career. She has designed a tableau for Blackpool illuminations. The stunning interactive display is titled “Wishing Star”.
Toyah said: “I am thrilled to be part of this year’s illuminations. As a child I visited Blackpool at Easter time and I was always enthralled by the Promenade and the sea. This memory is so strong, I wanted to create a display of light and story-telling that takes everyone back to their childhood selves, while enjoying the sea, the sky, the stars and the coast. My story is about a child and her guitar meeting new friends who make her stronger while flying over the sea.”
