The Macao Light Festival 2015 - Journey of Lights is gearing up for its Dec 6 unveiling, the same day the Macao International Marathon and the Parade through Macao, Latin City will take place. This year’s festival theme is “the butterfly fairy and little elves”. The festival will offer three different programs at 11 attractions around Macau, which include 3D mapping, light installations and interactive games, all of which are on offer until the end of the month between 7pm and 10pm.
3D Mapping
Four shows of different themes projected upon the facades of four historic monuments in the city - A-Ma Temple, the Holy House of Mercy, St. Dominic’s Church and the Ruins of St. Paul’s. The shows range from 5 minutes to 10 minutes and will repeat at 30-minute intervals from 7pm to 10pm.
Light Installations
Themed light installations include “The Canopy of Starry Night” at Senado Square, “The Corridor of Magical Light” at the Holy House of Mercy, “The Clothes Drying Lane” at Lou Kau Mansion along Travessa da Sé, “The Fountain of Bliss” at Cathedral Square, “Butterflies in the Starlight” at St. Augustine’s Square, “The Rainbow Stairs” at St. Lawrence’s Church, “Elves in Wonderland” at Lilau Square, “The Dress of the Butterfly Fairy” at Moorish Barracks and “From the Outer Space” at Barra Square.
Interactive Games
The Festival will present five interactive games including “Cycle Racing” and “Taming Rudolph the Reindeer” alternately held at the Holy House of Mercy. The Cycle Racing, designed to combine bicycle generators and 3D projection mapping techniques, will go on from 6 – 20 December and 26 – 31 December with “Taming Rudolph the Reindeer” held from 21 – 25 December where participants can search for Santa’s Reindeer through a touch-screen device on the spot.
At A-Ma Temple “Starry Blessings” allow visitors to choose a phrase and input a name via a tablet provided on the spot, and their message will be projected on the exposed wall of A-Ma Temple. In the activity “Dance Little Fairy!”, participants can become a butterfly fluttering its wings out of a chrysalis with a motion sensor device installed at St. Augustine’s Square. All of the above activities will span about 20 minutes each at half-hour intervals.
Residents and visitors can also join the round-the-clock game “Elves Hunt” at ten designated locations at any time of the day by using the function “Shake” or “Scan” on WeChat. By helping the Butterfly Fairy to locate five of her elves in town, they can redeem a small gift at Gift Redemption Counter in front of the Ritz Building at Senado Square within the designated time period.
