The Sommerakademie presented a light performance by Geneviève Favre Petroff (Alumna Sommerakademie 2007) and musical contributions by DJ Thomas Burkhalter of the Network Norient. 

Geneviève Favre Petroff presented her wonderful light performance Lokum. With light, dance and singing she evoked the beauty and wealth of the Middle-Eastern culture. Her dress consisted of 124 lokum cubes (Turkish Delight) of increasing size, which lighted up and drew motives in movement, synchronized with the music.
