With LLUN3S series, music is at core of Far de la Mola’s full moon parties

cartell 2020 LLUN3SEarlier today the Formentera office of culture unveiled details surrounding the latest from cultural collective Espai F_: a series of music-driven shindigs set in the patio of La Mola’s lighthouse cultural centre and showcasing the three full moons of summer.

Starting as the first moonbeams illuminate the cliffs of El Pilar de la Mola, the evenings bring together an array of musical duos.

Formentera’s own Maria José Cardona and Majorcan Miquel Brunet —a musical foray the pair have christened Imaràntia— top the bill of LLUN3S’s inaugural night, from 9.58pm on 5 July. From 9.21pm on 3 August, Txabi Ábrego lends a hand as Lleida-born singer-songwriter Meritxell Gené presents her most recent effort, Sa Tanca d'Allà dins. And, crowning the series at 8.57 on 2 September are the specialists of Majorcan traditional tunes, singer Júlia Colom and pianist Toni Vaquer.

In line with safety protocol, capacity will be limited to one hundred individuals. Additional considerations have involved assuring a certain measure of harmony with natural surroundings. Ticket requests should be emailed to info.espaifrumentaria@gmail.com and include name of guests and the locations desired. Audiences are asked to arrive thirty minutes before each show, while payment will be conducted after each event, with organisers opting for a pay-what-you-can system as spectators exit.

Designed specifically with the lighthouse patio space in mind, LLUN3S was envisaged as a respectful homage to the full moon parties that became legendary in the La Mola of the seventies and eighties. A joint production of Espai F_ and the cultural arm of the Consell de Formentera, LLUN3S receives additional support from Ports de Balears and Ràdio Illa.
