Did you ask for it? We did. The exhibition will host the first all-Russian busking* stage lighting competition for light artists, directors, eventers, videographers, distributors.

*Busking, also known as ‘punting’, is controlling lighting for a live show in response to the show itself, rather than pre-defined ideas and fully recorded scenes or looks.

BUSKING STAGE LIGHTING COMPETITION

We invite "lighting specialists" from all over the country to take part in the first All-Russian Busking competition!

All visitors of the fair will be able to take part in the busking competition for free!

We invite all who can combine creativity, originality, artistic expression, technical skills, as well as the ability to create an awesome show in real time in a short period of time.

Join the Road to Mastery!
