Twenty-three light artworks will transform Sofia into an open-air gallery in the evenings from May 11 to 14, 2023. With ten more than in the first edition of the LUNAR Festival of Lights, the artworks will illuminate some of the capital's most famous facades, parks and squares, the European Parliament's Office in Sofia told BTA on Tuesday.
The event's programme includes various types of artworks created by artists from all over the world. All of them will be open to the public for free and the lights will be switched on between 9:00 p.m and midnight on each of the four evenings.
Four video and eight static projections on buildings, as well as nine light installations, an interactive light-painting studio and a light parade, will await the event’s visitors. The art of the legendary Bulgarian illustrator, known from the covers of Library Galactica - Tekla Alexieva, who is the creator of the main illustration for this year's edition of the event, will use some of the most emblematic facades in the capital as its canvas.
The festival's route starts at one of the the National Library St. St. Cyril and Methodius, which was among the favourite locations of the audience during the first edition in 2022. The remarkable facade will make viewers fall in love with planet Earth all over again, seeing the world through the bees’ eyes.
