My Light Shines On: Celebrating Edinburgh's
enduring festival spirit
Covid-19 has not dimmed the creativity of artists, nor the enthusiasm of
all the people who make Edinburgh’s festivals. 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 what would have been the opening weekend of
the 2020 festival season. A specially commissioned film featuring new work from
artists across genres airs on our YouTube channel, Facebook Live and BBC
Scotland at 9.30pm. The film features famous faces from festivals across the
years, as well as collaborations with other Edinburgh
festivals.
This unique broadcast launches a series of new recorded activity, which
will be viewable throughout August on our YouTube channel.
