festival
A festival is a modern ritual where music and commercialism fall in love, producing believers known as attendees. Participants pay exorbitant ticket fees while being toyed by endless queues and the lure of limited-edition merchandise. The blaring music creates a sense of unity while simultaneously filling the void of silence. For organizers, it's a marketing spectacle; for attendees, a stage for self-affirmation. The scene of intersecting purposes and expectations is filled with tricks designed to make one forget its original goal.
