Between 2-5. July. 2026.
Venue: 52. Felsővámház Str. – Pécs
Within a short time the Cty of Pécs shows her face to the 10th anniversary Zsolnay Light Festival which will once again dress the city in light this year, but the most special experiences await visitors behind closed doors.
The city center’s iconic building projections and outdoor programs are free for everyone, but for those who want to explore every facet of the festival, the Light Festival MAX wristband will open all the doors.
In the spaces of the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter and the Kodály Center, international and domestic works await the audience, which would be a special destination in themselves at any European light festival. These are the experiences that visitors will still be talking about years later.
A laser experience that will move you to tears at the Kodály Center … One of the most special works of the festival is the installation Divine Geometry by the Latvian team Those Guys Lighting, which completely transforms the concert hall of the Kodály Center. Twenty-four lasers create a perfect circle of light in the space, while an original soundtrack composed by a renowned sound sculptor guides the visitor through the experience. The effect of the work is almost inexplicable: in previous presentations, it has moved many viewers to tears, and many of them
remained in the space long after the thirty-minute program ended, simply because they did not want to leave this special state.
Also waiting for visitors at the Kodály Center is the Bodhira, a monumental, flower-like light creature that constantly changes in response to touch. Sometimes it slowly unfolds, sometimes it closes again, while filling the space with light, movement and sound. Here, the visitor is not just a spectator of the work: with every touch, he creates new rhythms, new light drawings and new experiences.
