FESTIVAL director
Yael Mero
Our online festivals started in the first phase of Covid-19 pandemic, when we all found ourselves under lockdown and social distancing. At that global crisis when we could not meet, dance, perform or participate in festivals, it was our way to communicate with Israeli dance groups and music ensembles, with our CIOFF® friends and with folklore fans around the world. “Light and Fire” Festival occurs on the three longest nights in the Northern Hemisphere. These critical turning points gave birth to ancient Light and Fire festivals that are still celebrated today. The festival curates ICH light and fire sacred rituals, songs dances around the globe and celebrates friendship and love. The motto of the festival is togetherness: "Each one of us is one small light. All together, we shine bright." (Sara Levi Tanai)
