Somewhere, in a city of 8 million people, there must be New Yorkers with amazing flatulence and extraordinary sphincter control.
Back in the summer of 1987, in Hamburg, Germany, such talents were found to accompany a violin in “concerts” at Luna Luna, an artist-designed funfair that thrilled the city.
On Nov. 20, a reduced version of that fair opened inside the Shed at Hudson Yards, as a spectacle now called “Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy.” It runs through Jan. 5.
Unfortunately, its original “windy” concert is now present only on a monitor. (It’s not even shown in Smell-O-Vision.) Carnival rides decorated by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf can’t be ridden, not even touched. They come surrounded by stanchions, like precious sculptures in a museum.

Most of the “fun” has been bleached from this fair, so it feels worthy rather than rowdy, respectful instead of transgressive. Weekend admission for a family of four begins at $198, so thrill-seeking parents might save their pennies for “Wicked.”
