#Repost @edintfest with @make_repost ・・・ Covid-19 has not dimmed the creativity of artists, nor the enthusiasm of Edinburgh’s summer festival community. My Light Shines On is an act of optimism and solidarity: a series of world-class artistic interventions celebrating a spark that still burns bright. For the first time since lockdown began, artists have returned to the venues they love to make theatre together, to play music together, to sing together, to dance together and to light up the skies together. On 8 August, we celebrate the opening weekend of the 2020 festival season. A specially commissioned film featuring new work from artists across genres and collaborations with Edinburgh's summer festivals airs on our YouTube Channel, Facebook Live and BBC Scotland at 9.30pm. This unique broadcast launches a series of new recorded activity for August on our YouTube Channel. Explore the programme at eif.co.uk . 📷 @rbuchananphotography .
