The Basilica in Pécs is getting wonderful light paintings
Change language:
Between July 1 and 3 the Zsolnay Lightfestival in Pécs will line up gladiators, medieval knights, a historical fashion show and 5-metre big dragons, reports travelo.hu. The whole downtown will be enlivened by the evening light paintings, and so will be the Basilica.
The past will be evoked at the festival and artists from all over the world will make sure that the audience are having a great time. The peak of the event would come after it gets dark, for then the attendees will be enchanted by the illuminated downtown: the stable and moving masterpieces of light painting, light compositions and installations.
In the evenings of Friday and Saturday those interested can attend Hungary’s first international light art competition, the “Zsolnay Light Art Mapping Competition on the facade of the Cathedral of Pécs”. Differently from the previous years, this year, for the first time, not only the facade will be projected to, but the towers are also going to provide some surface for the artists, “thus creating a monumental and unique sight”.
