The picturesque town of Brixen in South Tyrol, Italy will once again be transformed into a backdrop of pure magic this year when the new light and music show ‘Colors 2 – The Journey Continues’ bathes the historic Hofburg in vibrant colours and melodic sounds. From 28 November to 6 January, Brixen Tourism invites you to an experience that goes far beyond a conventional Christmas party. This show is not only a feast for the senses, but also a deep reflection on the meaning of peace, diversity and friendship.
The magic of Christmas in Brixen
Christmas in Brixen is a time of wonder and joy, and ‘Colors 2 – The Journey Continues’ enhances this feeling in a way that must be seen to be believed. The show combines stunning lighting effects and moving music to create an atmosphere that appeals to both the eyes and the heart. At a time when the world is often hectic and restless, this show offers an oasis of calm and beauty that reminds us of what really matters.
The journey of the little hummingbird
At the centre of the show is a small, colourful hummingbird that flies through a multi-coloured world as a messenger of love, light and peace. This enchanting character takes the audience on a musical journey that oscillates between dream and reality. On his journey, the hummingbird encounters a completely different creature, and it is this encounter that takes the story to a deeper level. What initially appears to be a challenge quickly develops into a heart-warming friendship that shows that true friendship means accepting and loving each other despite all differences.
A hymn to diversity
‘Colors 2 – The Journey Continues’ is not only a celebration of the Christmas season, but also a tribute to the diversity of the world. The show takes up the theme of peace in a refreshingly light yet touching way and celebrates the beauty of differences. The lights and sounds merge into a mosaic of harmony and hope that deeply touches the audience and conveys the message that true beauty lies in diversity.
An international masterpiece
This year’s show benefits from the creative collaboration between the renowned French artist collective Spectaculaires and Ukrainian light artist Julia Shamsheieva. Shamsheieva brings an innovative and vibrant touch to the piece, giving the show a fresh dynamic. This international collaboration emphasises the global message of the show and proves how art can build bridges between cultures.
The connection between Christmas and friendship
While Christmas is often seen as the celebration of family and charity, ‘Colors 2 – The Journey Continues’ reminds us that friendship plays an equally important role in our lives. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex and sometimes isolating, the ability to make and maintain genuine friendships is an invaluable asset. The show demonstrates that friendship is not just about sharing similarities, but also about accepting differences and learning from each other.
‘Peace can only exist in a world where there is friendship and understanding between people.’ – Albert Einstein
