Lit Up 2014

About Lit Up 2014
To walk the equator is to cross between time zones and states of knowing, to traverse this line that exists on maps more as a concept than an actual boundary. This year, artists interpret, through a wide variety of genres, the storms and sunny days that sweep through us from this island city and onto further shores.
There is a distinct regional flavor in Lit Up 2014; from a latitudinal approach to puppetry to a Balinese take on pantomime, an explosion of genre-busting bands and two eclectic spoken word troupes. There is also a Market of Experiences, promising a sensorial feast, and a bevy of workshops and talks for something more interactive.
