The first zone was walking through long corridors, the second zone was an empty white floating space where you could be infected and influenced by others, the third zone was arriving in a new world, or lets say return to the old world as a person who looks at things in a new way. In between the director of the festival could say some words, and before all the particpants gathered along one age line. It was quite a discovery sometimes to see people in front of the line who you expect to be among the youngest and vice versa( people you expected to be much older). Music was made by the participating musicians at the conference. The idea for this ritual was developed by the participants of a one week workshop, before the last day.
