29th of July: 1st day of the Sun Flower Festival!!!





 The first day of the Sun Flower Festival is just getting started and the the Trash Rash project is almost ready. The participants are having rehearsals and the workshop leaders are giving them the last tips and instructions about their performance. Each participant plays a musical instrument out of trash, stringed, wind or percussion instrument and we are setting the programme of the Trash Rash performance. It is unbelievable how beautiful instruments these young people have created and it's even more interesting watching them playing them!!

The only problem is the weather as the sky looks quite ominous covered in grey colors and clouds. Hmmm...it will not help so much if it rains. We are keeping fingers crossed but nature is stronger than our will probably!

The first concerts have already started in the evening and quite a lot of people have gathered to see what is going on in the different stages. There are four stages which host different kinds of events:
Ska, Rock, Reggae & Blues at the main stage which is the Sun Flower Stage, Cabaret, Theatre & Readings at the Art Stage, Hard Rock & Punk Rock at the Rock Stage, Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, Goa Trance & Chillout at the Dub and Space Station. Apart from the concerts, theatrical performances and  readings, there are yoga, fire performing, juggling, circus, belly dance, jam session and body painting workshops and a wellness and spa area with hot tubs, sauna and chill out space. 

 The participants have a free weekend to explore the festival, meet international people, enjoy various concerts and performances and participate in any workshop they are interested in.
