The Tribulations of Sofie and Carlo
The Sofie & Carlo series, an imaginary story that brings you behind the scenes of festival making.
Somewhere in Europe a festival is underway. Every day brings a crisis. Somehow the big people in charge only ever arrive at the end. Only the two young interns, Sofie and Carlo, stand between triumph and disaster.
In 3 seasons of anecdotical stories (including a special corona virus season), writer James Eno and cartoonist Stefan Loeckx illustrate the ins and outs of festival making from the perspective of two trainees that could be in the office of any festival: two protagonists allow us in these fictional stories to look behind the scenes of every day festival making, to visit the ‘common’ places with the idea: ‘ah, we know this feeling’ or, ‘ah ja, I remember this kind of story’.
Worth a read, worth a laugh: Enjoy the lecture.
