what is this
a restored village in the hills. a pool between the pines.
a bakery that's been here longer than any of us.
for one day, we fill it with music, movement, and art.
all genres. all bodies. all welcome.
the day
twelve hours. twenty-plus artists. one village.
tap anything to find out what you're getting yourself into.

The Forest Awakens
bakery · makers market · chill out lounge
›
the village is yours. gates open at 10:00 and the forest comes alive. the bakery fires up fresh bread and pastries. market vendors set up under the oak trees with handmade goods, jewelry, and tattoos. the chillout stage opens with ambient sounds between the pines. chinese tea ceremony, chai and cacao bar, forest trails that don't lead anywhere in particular. pool, sauna, kids area. two hours to arrive, explore, settle in before the music begins.
the lagar opens. jamming, interaction, live looping. antonio builds a sonic world and invites you to live in it. the crowd shapes the sound. this is how the day begins.
13:00
Mythical Dance Theatre
Tara Chantelle Gomez
›
a solo dance ritual woven from myth and movement. theatre without words. introduced by LEFT. the kind of thing you'll think about in the shower three weeks later and not be able to explain why.
30 min set

Body Research into Groove
Hugo Marmelada
›
a movement practice born in dance. no mirrors, no steps to follow. just your body figuring out what it already knows. the workshop blends into the set. the movement doesn't stop, it just gets a soundtrack.
15:30
Hybrid Live Set
Wattusi Brothers
›
congas, bongos, percussion, ukulele, and electronic grooves woven together live. DJ set with instruments. the kind of set where you start swaying and twenty minutes later realize you haven't stopped.
16:30
Ecstatic Dance
AVI × Meta_
›
facilitated by LEFT. world rhythms from Balkans, Latin America, ancient Portuguese, Mexican traditions. electronic layers building through golden hour into sunset. Meta_ on live vocals. barefoot, no talking. this is where everything you've opened during the day starts moving through your body.
barefoot · no phones on the dancefloor · facilitated by LEFT
18:00
Equinox Activation
Chris Corsini
›
day and night in perfect balance. the old season ends, the new one begins. chris guides you through the threshold. part movement, part meditation, part things that don't have names yet. bring your full attention and leave your skepticism at the door. or don't. it'll dissolve on its own.
19:00
Performative Dance Experience
Angelica Isenarda · Jakub Margosiak · Aiswarya Prathap · Jordi Torrents · Eva Parmenter

three performers and two musicians suspend time, creating a mystical and primal atmosphere. accordion, percussion, and bodies responding to each other in real time.
the evening steam session. let the day move through you.

Immersive Party Night

the last hours. the village is warm, the pool is still open, and someone is playing music that makes you want to stay forever. this part writes itself.

Chill Out Lounge
live music · DJ · cosy spaces to rest
›
a softer world between the pine trees. ambient sounds, live music, and places to land when you need a pause from the dance. the kind of corner you keep coming back to.
a special equinox edition of the feminine circle session. steam, intention, surrender.

Makers Market
handmade goods · tattoos · jewelry

under the oak trees. things made with care by people who care. support someone's dream and walk away with something you'll actually keep.
the morning after. a slow return. let everything from yesterday settle before you leave the village.
