The festival will take place in St. Petersburg for the second time, with the main events unfolding in the city center. This year's theme is "Connections": between humans and technology, different cultures and eras, nature and the technological environment. For the first time, a gastronomic program will be part of the festival. The festival will open at the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theatre with a concert by pianist Mikhail Kandinsky, a descendant of the outstanding abstract artist Vasily Kandinsky. The concert will combine music and digital technologies. From September 25 to 27, a mapping show will take place on the facade of the Gostiny Dvor, synchronized with live performances by artists. Choral music, jazz, academic underground, and electronics will be featured. Everyone interested will be able to see the show. On the stage of the Myasnikov Mansion, the performance "The Show is Canceled" will be presented by ballet artists and choreographers Vladimir Varnava and Alexander Chelidze. Additionally, events in the program will take place at the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Museum of Communications, Palace Square, and other venues. The event will conclude with a large multimedia project on the facade of the Great St. Petersburg Circus on the Fontanka.
