Once again, I had the honour and the privilege to do the lighting design and  lighting direction for the yearly Psalm festival. Happening around Easter each year, the festival is centred around musical performances in readings in relation to Easter traditions from around the globe, in different cultures and religions.

In this performance, the vocal ensemble Tenores di Bitti presented traditional Easter songs from Sardinia, in a very archaic and intense vocal style.
