BEFORE SUNRISE:A FESTIVAL BLEND OF MUSIC, NATURE & STORYTELLING
Imagine it’s nighttime, you are surrounded by nature, on a boat in the middle of a distant lake. There is silence and darkness all around the water. Then the first objects of light appear. The first sounds begin to play… This dream-like scenery usually marks the beginning of the metaphysical Ezera Skanas festival in Latvia that hosts music acts on a floating stage.
The official event was cancelled in 2020, but its founder Reinis Spaile together with LIGANOVA lived it up nevertheless, exclusively having produced a small version of the festival including a musical performance – that had its broadcasting premiere – and a live-streamed conversation with its head of design Zane Priede. Explore the storytelling element that’s incorporated into the event format as well as its distinctive design concept that is deeply integrated in the natural environment.
