Weeds grow in our woods, invade gardens and riverbanks, spread out of control, and, if cleared, come back stronger than ever. These weeds are not afraid of not having recognizable names. They are small, grow tall, invent trunks, sometimes sting, sometimes cling so tightly to their soil that even if you hate them and pull them out with all your strength, you cannot move them.

Weeds have a sweet side: if treated with respect, marsh marigold heals, chamomile calms, nettles cure, and mint brings good luck.

Some weeds are called invasive and aggressive. They have been moved and released, they have rebelled, and in hostile environments they grow, resist, and transform the landscape.

The two days festival included dance, an exhibition, performances, dj sets, live music, vj sets and an incredible stage design.
