The Village is a space that transforms throughout the Day;
an inspiring and enlightening area during the day, merging into a psychedelic space of exploration at night.
the 3 elements

DAY TIME / EVENING
STORY TELLING
(exhibitions/screenings/workshops)
The adventurous side

AT NIGHT
DREAMS
(installations/performances)
The experimental side
__________
A 2 screen AV installation looping 5 hours of experimental films from a collection of experimental films called DREAMS, exploring human emotions, spiritual journeys and physical sensations such as the vibration of sound.
Daytime
As sleepy eyes rise from makeshift tents and bare feet leave the sanctuary of sleeping bags, we welcome those wandering souls into the cove of the village. As light of day works on our side, sounds and delicate visions will invite you in.
Exhibitions – Creative Journalism
Our collective includes many traveling film makers, so in the evening we offer exclusive film screenings of documentaries from Bangladesh, Vanuatu, Italy, Peru and ever more countries (some of which were first screened at Raindance film festival).
Circus – a playful space
Tantra – Play, connect, explore!
Two of our wonderful artists will be giving 4-hour Tantra workshops. We create a space where people can experiment new ways of expressing themselves while connecting with one another.
Dance
To make things more dynamic we offer participatory dance workshops and shows including Japanese Butoh dance. Here we will invite dancers from around the world to join and collaborate with their art, create unique collaborations.

Site-specific, collaborative trance-rituals
At some point during the night our installations will turn off. In the darkness, creatures will crawl out of the bushes. This initiates the finale of our programme: a participatory, trance ritual combining all of our different skills.
Before the festival we will create a site-specific performance piece including a new kind of live cinema projections, modern dance, acrobatics, fire, live music and participation by the crowd. Along our core team we will invite friends and artists at the festival to join us. This will create unique collaborations of artists from around the world. We will film these performances, editing them into ever-deeper experiences of layers. All these works will be released under Creative Commons on a dedicated web-platform on VOIIAGE.
