"Your Lucky Day" is a free, public performance project held on New Year's Day 2013 as part of Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations.
Atmospheric theatre, spoken word, unique musical performances and even a lucky tearoom will be hidden in destinations around the city from the Greyfriars Kirk to The City Art Centre, The Roxy Hall to The Hub.
Revellers will be invited to start at Destination 1, the National Museum of Scotland, and to throw a dice to decide their first destination. They allow the dice to decide their route around the Old Town for the rest of the afternoon.
Lucky participants might join in the dancing at the Highland Ceilidh or the Hogmanay Hoedown, enjoy inspiring music from young Scottish singer-songwriter Rachel Sermanni or shiver at the folk song ghost story Crows Bones.
They might immerse themselves in Duncan Chisholm’s Kin, a beautifully crafted journey into the past using music, narrative and film or listen to Words per Minute with author Alan Bissett; try The Luck Factor with Professor Richard Wiseman or enjoy a Scottish afternoon tea with a difference in The Lucky Tearoom.
Audiences are expected to visit a number of performance destinations during the afternoon.
Your Lucky Day will culminate at Destination 13 in a spectacular street theatre show by French company Plasticiens Volants who have been commissioned to stage Big Bang, an animation of the history of the world from the present back to that lucky day, around 13 billion years ago, when by current scientific consensus the universe was created.
Everyone who joins in Your Lucky Day will have the chance to enter a lucky draw at Destination 13 to win an Exceedingly Lucky Break - a AAA VIP Pass to the very best of Scotland in 2013.
