Carnival Theme 2009 - "La Dolce Vita"

This year’s carnival theme ‘La Dolce Vita’  - ‘The Sweet life’ implies a large number of associations. Life is our existence, the way we live or the way we want to live. Sweet is something nice, something positive…Something good. Combined, ‘ The Sweet Life’ creates a world of imagination, freedom and adventure, you can be whoever you wish to be, adopt and live out the life you think is sweet for a day. 

The Carnival is the celebration of life and is a sweet time where everybody changes and everything is turned upside down. It is a paradox time where extremes meet, where order is disorder, and harmony is disharmony – a time where blasphemy is sacred and taboos lose powers. It is the time of creative self-expression and erotic freedom. Carnival is an insane moment in time where the boundaries of reality and imagination become blurred and where anarchy and madness, freedom and fantasy rule – it is the time where you can enjoy ‘The Sweet Life’.

This year’s theme captures the essence of the carnival: imagination, energy, eroticism, freedom from cares, wealth and boundlessness. Be inspired and give free rein to your fantasy and creativity.

We dare you to exceed the limits laid down in everyday life and to immerge in the world of colours, impressive costumes, imagination and creativity. Be inspired by this year’s theme and create your own fabulous costume. We are already looking forward to seeing your fabulous costume and experience the sweet life you will spread all around…

  How do you wish to express 'La Dolce Vita'?

Asterix & Obelix live a care-free life teasing the Romans, eating and drinking together with the other Gauls...What a sweet life...?

 

 

Princesses and sheiks live a life in luxury...Isn't that sweet...?

 

 

 

 

When we think of 'La Dolce Vita', we don't need to think of an official or a general definition. 'La Dolce Vita' can be interpreted in so many different ways. Ask yourself - doesn’t music or love sweeten our lives just a little bit?

Doesn't music sweeten our lives? Isn’t it sweet when we feel an electricity and float away in a sea of rhythms?

Doesn't love sweeten our lives? Isn’t it sweet when sparks light a fire in people's hearts?


Doesn't the carnival time itself sweeten our lives?
Isn’t it sweet when the carnival transforms thousands of people into one amazing artwork allowing people to break free from everyday life and cast off their worries for a day ?

Ask yourself, what sweetens your life?
