Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures
Programme
The programme is conceptually wide and diverse, comprising music, visual arts, modern dance, theatre, puppetry, sculptural installations, documentary film and video screenings, literary evenings, new media art events, lectures and art auctions. The events are spaced all over the city, from its parks and streets (and even its lake) to the main stage in the city centre, the local skate park and the Pekarna exhibitions grounds (a venue created at the site of an abandoned industrial building in the course of a past festival edition).
There are also other, more temporary interventions into urban space like setting up artists residencies in floating dwellings in the local lake and transforming one of the city parks into a creative polygon. The streets also hold theatre shows and arts performances (like, for example, Pocestnica by KUD Ljud), slack-line and roller-blade meetings, photography exhibitions and so on. There are lectures from artists like Dragan Živadinov, workshops on sound sculpturing and other arts perfomanses and installations, which are actually very un-typical for this tye of a festival.
Music
Music-wise, there is combination of well known local and foreign musicians like Lombego Surfers (US), Let 3 (HR), Kultur Shock (US), Disciplin A Kitschme (RS), Senser (UK) Bambi Molesters (HR), Damir Avdić (BA), Kiril Džajkovski (MK), Terrafolk, Demolition Group, Srečna mladina and Noctiferia. This relatively rock oriented programme is accompanied by many upcoming and fresh musicians of a diverse musical expression (jazz, electronica,reggae, etc) coupled with a very strong hip hop focus with artists like General Woo (HR), Elemental (HR), Kiša metaka (HR), High 5 (HR) and stuff like a national competition in beat boxing,
