FUSION-festival
Every year at the end of June the biggest holiday camp in the German republic
emerges from the fields of the former soviet military airfield in La"rz.
The fusion motto is four days of holiday communism. The name is a manifesto,
which extends itself through diverse varieties of music into Theatre, performance
and cinema and as far as fine art, interaction and communication. As varied,
as the people that come together here are also the things they are searching
for or wish to experience. What unites them is the freedom to be, as they
want to be, unconstrained and unregulated. For four days an alternative society
emerges, far from Societies constraints and the normal control of everyday
life.
