Tura is a true musician who creates magical moments of poetry, with little pieces of silk paper, cotton wicks and dabs of wax not to mention a few breaths of wind, fills the sky with ephemeral floating lanterns that take our hearts skyward.
One can't help but marvel, like children before a Christmas tree, at this wonderous spectacle.
Join Tura and his baloeiros from Brazil…
• Thursday during the opening ceremony.
• Every evening at the south launch, during intermission of the Icares of Cinéma ; and don't miss Friday night's simultaneous launch of 1000 hot air balloons.
• Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 - 12:00 at the south launch, to learn the art of making Brazilian hot air balloons.
• Periodical meetings throughout the Coupe Icare (see programme for details).
