This third edition of Waking Life will now start on August 14, one day earlier than previously announced, with an opening show from Circle of Live ft. Johanna Knutsson, Leafar Legov, Masayoshi Fujita, Matt Karmil, and Sebastian Mullaert. It will run continuously until Monday, August 19.
Waking Life describes itself as a “collaborative project” where the space is brought to life by the joint vision of those participating. Ecology is also one of the main pillars of the festival: by taking several measures, such as working with solar energy, water purification systems, and through travel and waste management, the event tries to reduce its environmental impact as much as possible.
