Sinopsis

LIBERANDUM was a special creation for the main stage of Sziget Festival in Hungary. In the presence of thousands of spectators, accompanied by live musicians and audiovisual content on a giant screen, an immersive performance that pays tribute to those who have had the courage to leave behind the familiar and move on, fighting for a better world was created on the festival main stage.

Description of the project

Specially invited by Sziget Festival in Hungary to create an action with social impact on their main stage, the Kamchatka company created LIBERANDUM, a massive action, with live music, audiovisual content, live projections on giant screens and the participation of dozens of local volunteers as well as the large audience. Under the sweltering summer heat, 2 zodiacs and a crowd of ‘immigrants’ dripping with water as if they had just come out of the sea, cross the audience on their way to the main stage of the festival. Thus, in the presence of thousands of people, the company came to tell a simple story that illustrates without words the meeting in the middle of the journey of those who have left, of those who will leave and of all those who have tried but never made it. A theatrical moment that in the midst of the madness of this great festival of music and culture left its mark and was dedicated to all those who lost their lives because of our terrible migration policies in the Mediterranean Sea.
