The show will be a magical music trip showing different facets of Sunstroke Rain translating her vision on subjects like human rights, equality and nature into a visual danceable and interactive show.
The setlist
Two songs have been chosen to show the different facets of the project.
Go Greta
A tribute to Greta Thunberg. The lyrics were written to encourage her to go on despite the attacks. As the subject matter is heavy, the song introduces lightness and feelings of hope which is reflected in its danceability.
This concept will translate into the set design through visuals inspired by nature.
Fun
We are served with a never ending source of bad news with our morning coffee. War, threats, murders, climate crisis, economical crisis and so on.The initiators to this destruction got it all wrong.This song is a reminder that life is about inspiration, exchange, sharing and caring and to enjoy small moments while we can and try to inspire others to do the same. Set design will create a fun atmosphere by incorporating pink and blue strange and playful creations.
