This year’s visualized cloud of sound will be formed and punctuated by fireworks. Pyrotechnic artist Christian Czech (AT) (Pyrovision) has been working together with director Beda Percht (AT)(Cataracts) for several years. They have jointly created a new theatrical style of staging fireworks displays that has garnered them international acclaim - for example, as winners of the Nuits des Feu competition on the grounds of Chantilly Palace near Paris. For this production, they’re joined by musician Thierry Zaboitzeff (FR). His powerful musical themes combine with delicate subtlety to make for a memorable musical experience.

La kasbah des Oudayas est à l'origine une petite forteresse érigée par les Almoravides pour lutter contre les tribus berghouatas. Elle ne devient importante qu'avec les Almohades, qui en font un ribat surplombant l'embouchure du fleuve Bouregreg et le nomment Mehdiya.
Le site est abandonné après les Almohades, c'est l'arrivée des morisques d'Al-Andalus qui le fait renaître la kasbah fut restaurée et renforcée. La dynastie alaouite entreprend à son tour des travaux d'aménagement du site entre 1757 et 1789, puis entre 1790 et 1792.
Toute cette histoire du site est visible à travers les monuments qui composent la kasbah des Oudayas, tels que l'enceinte almohade et sa fameuse porte monumentale (bab el Kébir, un des emblèmes de l'architecture almohade), la mosquée Jamaa el Atiq, l'enceinte alaouite, la maison princière dressée à l'ouest et l'ouvrage militaire du borj Sqala.

According to Francisco Riso Patrón, and stated in Diccionario Geográfico de las Provincias de Tacna y Tarapacá, the name Pisagua has a quechua origin, meaning "place of scarce water": Pis - scarce, agua - water.
Pisagua was founded in 1611 after an edict by the Viceroy of Peru which established a base from which it could be possible to stem the illegal traffic of gold and silver flowing from the important mines of Potosí and Oruro, in the Highlands of the "Audiencia of Charcas", to the British and Dutch pirates operating in the Corregimiento de Arica. Thus, Pisagua became a minor port, subjected to the major Port of San Marcos de Arica.
This settlement, known today as 'Pisagua Viejo' (Old Pisagua) developed at the south side of the Quebrada Tiliviche, on part of an extensive ancient midden deposit. Some adobe ruins remain.
The "Nitrate boom"
It was not until 1810 when large nitrate ("salitre" or saltpeter) deposits were discovered in the Corregimiento de Tarapacá that Pisagua became an important port due to its major role in the export of this product. Tsunami forced the transfer of Pisagua to the place where it lies today, in 1836. This site is a small plain located between the peninsulas of Punta Pichalo and Punta Pisagua, about 3 km South of Pisagua Viejo.
The War of the Pacific
On November 2, 1879 Pisagua was occupied by Chilean troops during the Guerra del Pacífico, in the "Battle of Pisagua". After the war, Pisagua went from Peruvian hands to Chilean administration.
The heydays of the town
Pisagua became an important port of the South Pacific during the nitrate boom of the 1870s. During the first years of the 20th century, Pisagua had become one of the most important ports of the whole country (after Valparaíso and Iquique), with offices from major banks, and one of the most beautiful cities on the Southern Pacific coast.

Railway history
The construction of a standard gauge railway line to connect Pisagua with the interior started in about 1865, while Pisagua was still a Peruvian possession. Work continued under Chilean administration, and by 1935 Pisagua was the northern terminus of a 400-mile (640 km) network of main and branch lines, with a connection to Iquique, the principal terminus of the line. Trains climbed from sea level at Pisagua to the interior plateau via three reversing zig-zags and a heavily graded line. Supplies for the interior towns and nitrate works were hauled up from the coast, and nitrate for export made up the return load. The principal traffic was always nitrate, after which came fuel, passengers, perishables, parcels, general merchandise, and livestock. Water for the steam locomotives and the town relied on two wells at Dolores (see map), 33 mi (53 km) from Pisagua, which today still derives its water from this source

How do we want to get around in the future? Do we want to get from point A to point B as fast as we can or in a way that is as environmentally friendly as possible—or both? We will use simple materials (like balloons and wooden wheels) to demonstrate and experiment with basic technical phenomena like propulsion. Then, creative youngsters can try their hands at building futuristic vehicles of their own.
