Enlightenment in Milan: everything you need to know before it closes soon
Immersing yourself in this experience provides a unique thrill thanks to an internationally successful Zurich-based artist collective (PROJEKTIL ). The multidisciplinary team includes visual artists, musicians, programmers, technologists, and designers. Between art and technology, innovative and meaningful experiences are created. From light and passion, sensual stories are born. The goal of their work is to inspire, intrigue and appeal to the senses.
The first 4 acts of the show are dedicated to the 4 seasons of the renowned composer Vivaldi with pieces arranged and adapted by Silvio Buchmeier. The final acts (5th and 6th) are Samsara and Nirvana. The former, Samsara, is a concept from Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cultures. It describes the endless cycle of rebirth and suffering in which souls are trapped. Everyone’s goal is to escape this illusory cycle and achieve enlightenment (nirvana). Nirvana is a state of peace and enlightenment.
Enlightenment uses several high-performance projectors to cover all structures, shapes and walls, creating new dimensions with colors and shapes and taking the viewer on a sensory journey. In this way, art, technology and spirituality come together in an experience that unleashes new expressiveness and creativity.
