°✧ NīANSA ✧° is a three-day, atmospheric
outdoor gathering where sonic exploration and geological wonder converge. Amidst Rakov Škocjan's primordial karst terrain, we craft intentional spaces for collective listening and shared discovery, giving life to a transient, ephemeral community powered by the mutual exchange between audiences, artists, and the intimate environment shared by humans and non-humans alike.

The program unfolds as a continuous stream, from amber mornings to the velvet hours, interweaving avant-garde ambience and electronics, left-field sonics, exploratory dance, morphing club textures, augmented field recordings, and all-around sonic experimentalism.

Beyond the auditory dimension, scenographic works—such as site-specific installations, contemporary movement performances, and unique world-building experiences—transform the landscape zone during NīANSA, offering a full-spectrum sensory delight for every voyager traversing with us.

The communal aspects of the gathering emerge organically, with shared curated meals and artisan-crafted liquid offerings amid bespoke chill-out spaces facilitating natural and impromptu interactions between participants.

The luminous karst terrain becomes both venue and creative collaborator through site-responsive works such as projection mappings that shapeshift across limestone faces, environmental sound works that converse with the elements, and performances that emerge organically from the landscape itself.























LOCATION



Amidst Rakov Škocjan's moss-crowned grottoes and
limestone stages, our main gathering point orbits around Guest-house Rakov Škocjan—settled just 150 meters from the ever-flowing Rak River and a 10-minutes walk from the majestic Big and Small Natural Bridges. Over three days (June 6th–8th, 2025), this wild, exrtraordinary karst landscape becomes a shimmering, kaleidoscopic playground for sensory exploration.
