Festival Spotlight: Symbiosis

Since its inception in 2005 the Symbiosis Gathering has been redefining interdisciplinary entertainment. The product of a previously unknown crew with ambitious ideas about how music, art, and education could come together to trasform and inspire, Symbiosis debuted to redwood trees and spongy-soft terrain, a turquoise pond, a pool, and camping in sun and shade. The people were colorful and vibrant; they danced at three stages, visited dozens of workshops and guest speakers , and bought handmade clothing and artisan creations from community vendors . The musical performances were diverse in scope yet alike in their exceptional quality, including locals and upcoming internationals, with the debut of several new producers and projects.

The visual art was abundant, with spontaneous installations dotting the trails and full-scale live creations from body-painting to glassblowing filling every available space. All these things merged and somehow the end result was vastly more than the sum of its parts … A true symbiotic relationship between artists, producers and guests was created, embraced by the community, and urged to continue. Symbiosis intends to facilitate peak experiences through a synaesthesia of art, music, transformational learning, and sustainable living integrated into an unparalleled extravaganza of fun beneath the starry skies.

This year (May 17-21) some thousands will excitedly head for Pyramid Lake in Nevada where they will be treated to music from Little Dragon, Bluetech, Desert Dwellers and Kayla Scintilla, along with frequent Sunset guests Adham Shaikh, Jamie Janover, Gaudi and many others! Not to mention out-of-this-world collaborative art installations and an almost unparalleled education stream. We couldn’t be too generous in our words for this event and the team that lead it – check it, share it, LIKE it, attend it!
