The New York Times calls Tangle something that looks “as if it were created by Spiderman after a hefty dose of hallucinogens.” Yesterday, children got their first shot at creating a messy elastic playground on the plazas of Lincoln Center. Tangle will continue to grow through this Sunday, the 29th, on Josie Robertson Plaza. Here, a member of Polyglot Theatre Company shapes the playground between performances.
