Who Will Sing For Me? Lily Lamberta Will.
SUN SiNG Collective member Lily Lamberta speaks to why she is giving her time and talent to help stop fracked gas pipelines in Virginia.
Lily Lamberta is a political puppeteer, using collaborative art and theater as a means to work with communities expressing a creative voice to social justice and environmental issues. She is from Richmond, Virginia, where she is the director and master puppeteer for her political puppet theater All The Saints Theater Company. She uses large scale paper-mache puppets, sculpture, music, banners and flags to parade, protest, and celebrate. She believes that spontaneity and collaborative art and theater are the best ways to poke satire at the corruption of capitalism, bigotry, systemic racism, the prison industrial complex, and pro-pipeline companies. Lily uses all recycled and found goods to make her massive puppets. She is most recognized for starting the Halloween Parade in Richmond that she has put on for 13 years. Her New Orleans-style parade pageantry is her favorite style of political expression. She has been working with world famous Bread and Puppet Theater for 20 years! She has two kids who believe her work is important, and for that, she is grateful.
Each member of the SUN SiNG Collective has chosen to sing for one of ten selected pipeline endangered critters along the Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley pipeline routes. Lily sings and creates for the Virginia Big-eared Bat, which lives up to its name with enormous ears that dwarf its head. These bats use their remarkable echolocation to find and eat moths and other flying insects along the edges of the canopy, and live and raise their families in caves along the Appalachian ridge in Southwest Virginia. However, they are extremely sensitive to human activity, and populations dissipate in caves where habitat is frequently disturbed.
The SUN SiNG Concert is April 26th, 2019, starting at 6:00PM (doors at 5:00PM) at the Jefferson Theater, Charlottesville, Virginia.

The SUN SiNG concert will serve as premiere for a new pipeline resistance anthem and song video recorded and filmed along the proposed MVP & ACP routes using the SunBus sound system which is powered by the sun, and will be a magical theatrical concert event to lift all fossil fuel resistant, future lovin' souls. Join Water is life. Protect it. and ARTivism Virginia for an evening of beauty and hope, and for the premiere of “To the River”, a new anthem and song video to stop the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast fracked gas pipelines.
