Urban Highline Festival
The essence of Carnaval is FUN. Fun has always been accompanied by ludic art. Through its new forms – new circus and busking we will begin a time of shared celebration.
Carnaval is a time when everyday laws are suspended and the entire customary social and cultural order is turned upside down. Just as a juggler (or artist) is synonymous to a misfit, a freak and an outcast, so is Carnaval synonymous to a time of celebration, abolishment of laws, duties and norms.
Carnaval is a time of destruction, chaos, death but also restoration, revival, birth; it is a time of fools, artists and jugglers who announce the coming of new life. Carnaval is the celebration of life itself. It is the essence of life, its most vital sign.
