TRAKT is preparing an international festival of light-art, which will take place in the city of Trenčín. This concept came as an impulse from Trenčín 2026 during the candidacy of the city of Trenčín for the European Capital of Culture 2026. This project will be called Light Art Festival Trenčín, but we are already using the abbreviated name LAF-ko.
Light Art Festival will light up Trenčín, we are waiting for the “Test of Lights”!
A popular and eye-catching event format will soon be coming to Trenčín – the Light Art Festival Trenčín (LAF).
In November 2024, the opening event of the LAF will take place, which will be the so-called “Rehearsal of Lights”. You can look forward to an unusual, oversized installation by multidisciplinary artist Lukáš Dřevjaný, which will be placed for seven days in the Peace Square in Trenčín. The “Rehearsal of Lights”, the unveiling of the installation, will take place on 15 November 2024 and will be a taste of what the first edition of the LAF in April 2025 will subsequently bring on a larger scale.
LAF 2025 will show Trenčín in a different light and will illuminate the streets, parks, squares and undiscovered corners of the city with intermedia light works, luminography, large-scale video mappings or video art.
