Each act becomes a sensual invitation into a special now, where every space evolves as part of an unfolding story—one where reality feels fluid, boundaries dissolve into vibrant sensations, and visitors are transported into an immersive experience that transcends the ordinary. Delicious, delightful, dizzy, and dazzled, this sparkling molecular joy amplifies emotions, moods, and atmospheres, creating a world of high sensitivity and cinematic climates. 

The first act begins right from the arrival, with a boat reimagined as a glittery work of art—floating like magic on water, cloaked in a reflective skin that both absorbs and mirrors the hyper-colors around it. Transformed by :mentalKLINIK into a drifting sculpture, it spreads joy across the sea while remaining strangely alien to its surroundings, subtly questioning how crucial and complicated happiness has become. 

At Villa Maçakızı, visitors enter a staged environment shaped by light, reflection, and image. Works such as Frivolous, Another Love, and Elsewhere Is Paradise build spatial layers of glow and mirage, while Dirty Dance, a hyper-reflective meteor-like disco ball, spins a fragmented choreography of light over the pool. Video works /IMAGINE and Night Whiff flicker through the space like digital hallucinations—at once seductive and unsettling, caught between the hyperreal and the poetic. 

The journey continues at the Ancient Ruins of Iassos, where the cinematic atmosphere intensifies. The audience is drawn into Terribly Happy, a site-specific performance with lyrics written by :mentalKLINIK especially for the festival, performed as a contemporary aria on the ruins by the sea. Accompanied by soprano Delaram Kamareh and musical direction by Aïda Gabriëls with composition by Jonathan Bonny, the piece unfolds like an operatic fiction balancing synthetic euphoria and fragile melancholy. 

Projected onto the ancient stones, Violently Joyful transforms language into light — flashing words like Like, Follow, Comment into a manic dance of social compulsion. The ruins become a stage for the hollow rhythm of digital culture, amplified by the atmospheric video Hypercloud, where abstracted color and slowed motion stretch perception into a meditative loop on time, space, and attention. 

In a world already saturated with spectacle, :mentalKLINIK offers not just another performance, but a critical space to reflect on the nature of desire, participation, and collective emotion — a fleeting encounter where art becomes a hyperreal mirror of the strange now we inhabit.
