Lighting is ahead. III International Festival-Competition of Creativity "Wonderland" Theater and Concert Hall "Mir" and Digital October Center

Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" - one of the largest and most popular festivals in Moscow, a grand celebration of light, in which talented lighting designers and audiovisual artists from Russia and abroad compete in their skills, demonstrating large-scale light shows and unusual installations to the public.

Skillfully applying the technique of video mapping and modern multimedia technologies, the craftsmen transform the urban space and the architectural appearance of the symbolic buildings of Moscow, the facades of which become a screen for large-scale video projections.

In 2017, the festival will be held for the seventh time.

The program of the festival "Circle of Light" 2017

Light shows as part of the festival program will be held at 7 different venues, among which will traditionally be Theater Square with the building of the Bolshoi Theater, but, unfortunately, the VDNKh space, which is no less familiar to the public, will not be involved this year: a large-scale reconstruction is taking place there. The "highlight" of this year promises to be the Ostankino tower, the height of video projections on which will reach 330 meters.

. Ostankino

Ostankino will become one of the main venues of the festival: it is here that the opening ceremony will take place! With the help of video projection, light, lasers and fire, the audience will be shown a stunning multimedia show, the action of which will unfold both on the Ostankino Tower and on the water surface of the Ostankino Pond. Thanks to modern technology, festival visitors will be able to travel around the world and see their natural beauties: Niagara Falls, Yellowstone Park and Bamboo Flute Caves, the sands of the Sahara, the Great Barrier Reef, Lake Baikal, Mount Fuji, French lavender fields and other places.

And on the Ostankino Tower itself, a light show will be shown on the theme of the highest buildings in the world: in turn, it will turn into the Eiffel Tower, the New York skyscraper Empire State Building and the Dubai Burj Khalifa, as well as the TV towers of Toronto, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney. The height of video projections will reach 330 meters!

The program will end with a pyrotechnic show.

. theatre square

For several years the Circle of Light festival has been held, Theater Square has become its traditional venue, however, if the show was usually shown on the facade of the Bolshoi Theater, this time it will unite 2 buildings at once: the Bolshoi and Maly theaters.

Taking into account the use of two facades at once, a unique light show was developed in which their interaction will become part of one story: the performance "Heavenly Mechanics" will tell the audience about love and loneliness, about the impossibility of existing alone, but at the same time - the impossibility of fully accepting one person by another . And during the light show "Timeless", the audience in the company of Alexander Ostrovsky will get acquainted with the history and cult performances of the Maly Theater.

Also on the facades of the buildings will show the work of the participants of the video mapping contest "Art Vision" in the nominations "Classic" and "Modern".

. Tsaritsyno

September 23 - 27: light show, fountain show, light installations; September 24 - live performance of Turetsky's art group SOPRANO, accompanied by video projection.

In the museum-reserve "Tsaritsyno" the guests of the festival will enjoy the audiovisual mapping "Palace of Feelings", the authors of which will enliven the facade of the Great Catherine Palace and tell about its feelings. Among other things, a fountain show will be held on the Tsaritsynsky Pond, and light installations from leading lighting designers from around the world will be located in the park.

. Patriarch's Ponds

The Patriarch's Ponds will become an experimental platform: for the first time, as part of the Circle of Light festival, visual images for a pianist's live performance (Dmitry Malikov will perform classical works) will be created in real time.

. Strogino

On the last day of the festival, a 30-minute Japanese pyrotechnic show will take place in the waters of the Stroginsky backwater: hundreds of pyrotechnic charges will be launched from 4 barges.

. Concert Hall "MIR"

. Digital October

Moscow International Festival "Circle of Light" will be held this year for the seventh time, it will be held from 23 to 27 September. The organizers promise to make it the most spectacular event of the fall. The city will once again turn into a center of attraction for the world for several days: entire video performances will unfold on its most beautiful buildings, and fabulous installations will illuminate the streets. At all six venues, Muscovites and guests of the capital are in for a lot of surprises, and this year the festival will also touch upon new addresses.

The Ostankino Ponds area, Tsaritsyno Park, Theater Square, Stroginskaya floodplain, as well as the Mir theater and concert hall and the Digital October center will become the main auditoriums of the festival. Correspondents of "RG" found out all the details.

The show will open in Ostankino, in honor of the half-century anniversary of the tower. The hero of the day will "try on" different images of famous skyscrapers. Every minute the tower will turn either into the Parisian Eiffel Tower, or into the New York 103-story Empire State Building, or into the Japanese Landmark Tower... Viewers will also be able to see the skyscrapers of Canada, the United Arab Emirates, China, Australia ... The image will cover the entire diameter of the tower, so that the show will be visible from afar.

Those who are nearby will be able to see an extraordinary multimedia light show right on the Ostankino pond. Spectators will be transported to the fabulous Lavender fields, to the foot of Niagara Falls, to the heart of Yellowstone Park and the Bamboo Flute Cave, to experience the heat of the Sahara desert or the refreshing breeze of the Great Barrier Reef. Guests of the festival will witness the bewitching power of Fujiyama volcano, the immense depth of Lake Baikal, the boundless beauties of the Ural Mountains and the captivating charm of Sakhalin Island. An exciting spectacle here will be the choreography of fountains and fire, as well as a pyrotechnic performance.

And a special platform for an ice show will be installed on the pond, which will be shown by figure skaters.

Given the growing popularity of the Circle of Light, new objects have joined the festival this year. The debutant of the festival will be the Maly Theatre, the facade of which will be united by the plot with the Bolshoi Theatre. "One story will smoothly move from one building to another," says Vladimir Demekhin, creative director of the LBL Communications Group. Two light shows will be shown here: "Celestial Mechanics" - about loneliness and love, and "Timeless" - plots based on the works of Russian playwrights. Demekhin recalls that the Maly Theater carefully preserves the traditions of Russian theatrical art, therefore, from its facade, Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky himself, as a symbol and soul of the theater, will invite the audience on a journey through time. “At once on two facades, unique scenery created according to historical sketches will grow, scenes from cult performances will unfold, and their authors will not miss the opportunity to present their work, talk to each other and even joke,” continues Demekhin.

The finale of the festival will be a grandiose fireworks show - the first 30-minute show of Japanese pyrotechnics in Russia. A photo: RIA News

In addition, the theaters will traditionally show the works of the finalists of the international competition ART VISION Classic. Participants from all over the world will demonstrate to the audience new works of light art at the Bolshoi Theater in the "Classic" nomination and at the Maly Theater in the "Modern" nomination.

This palace and park ensemble in the south of Moscow will turn into a light stage during the festival. An audiovisual performance "Palace of Senses" will be shown on the building of the Great Catherine Palace, and a bewitching light and music show of fountains will be held on the Tsaritsynsky Pond. Dozens of fountains will come to life to the music of works by Russian composers, making the audience members of a large water orchestra. During all days of the festival, the park will be decorated with amazing installations from the world's leading lighting designers, and performances by famous musicians will take place right there. In particular, Mikhail Turetsky's art group SOPRANO will perform on September 24, and on other days the unique vocals of the female group will sound in the recording, accompanying video projections on the facade of the palace. On September 25, People's Artist of Russia Dmitry Malikov will give a concert in the park.

Mir Theater and Concert Hall and Digital October Center

Festival events will also be held at two indoor venues. On September 24 at 20.00 in the theater and concert hall "Mir" the audience will witness a competitive battle of the best light and music artists in the direction of vijing: teams from different countries will compete in the skill of creating light images to music. And those who are interested in how exactly this is done, on September 23 and 24 from 12.00 to 18.00 in the Digital October center, will be able to listen to free lectures by light designers and creators of laser installations.

One of the surprises awaits Muscovites and guests at the end of the festival. For the first time in Russia, a 30-minute Japanese firework will be presented, which almost never travels the world. To do this, on September 27, barges with pyrotechnic installations will be installed on the water in the Stroginskaya floodplain. Japanese charges differ from the usual ones in size - they are much larger, and each shot is made by specialists manually, due to which the pattern is individual. Light paintings will open at a height of 500 meters, and the diameter of the light domes will be 240 meters.

Specifically
