Lithuanian folk-rock band Atalyja will join the lineup for WMDF 015. Formed in the autumn of 1998, Atalyja (“The rain is coming”) have a core repertoire of sutartinės (polyphonic archaic songs – glees), which are ingeniously combined with an eclectic mix traditional and modern instruments. Their visit to Japan is supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture. Thanks so much.
This is our experiment on what could be realised in an online space:
12 online lives, including India and Iran, Indonesia & virtual performers
12 online showcase rooms: artists, art projects, science experience & more
6 virtual stages of video content, with contributed content from over 30 artists from over 10 countries, including Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Italy, Belarus, Lithuania, Argentina, Netherlands, USA, & Mexico
79 collaborating Hakodate stores: enjoy with food & refreshments from your home, with our delivery online partners!
No software installation required, just access from a browser (desktop highly recommended, with Chrome-based browsers performing best). It is a social space: you are free to mute and turn off camera, or to go wild and interact. There is a capacity limit, so please log out if inactive.
It is a first trial at this kind production, so please just enjoy all the hitches. Maybe there are some hints for online events, community collaboration, and internationalisation.
Here are the times of individual lives. Enjoy!
