ABOUT FOCUS FESTIVAL

Every year, TRY hosts the FOCUS Festival, a bold fusion of beach parties, action sports, and art on one of the most stunning locations on earth. Ride with 60 limited-edition kites or sail alongside 130 stunning pirogues from Art Project Focus on a journey to Tsiandamba, where 200,000 liters of clean water are purified through the power of the festival.

But

Focus is not just your standard festival, it’s a life experience. The experience starts at home when receiving your limited edition kite or sail. You don’t just come to Madagaskar with a QR-code but with the biggest entry ticket in the world, a limited edition kite or sail.

The stage is not just a normal stage, it’s built out of 2,000 clean water jugs, filled with drinking

water and donated to the local people. Kite next to your loved ones, sail and party together with local fishermen.

The Accommodation

Project FOCUS by Wim Tellier

Project FOCUS by Wim Tellier: An Unforgettable Art Experience

For the first time ever, kitesurfing will be combined with Project FOCUS by acclaimed artist Wim Tellier. In collaboration with 250 fishermen, Tellier has created a monumental art installation of 130 traditional pirogues, each adorned with custom sails featuring photographs of irises taken using a technique designed by the artist himself. These boats form an 1800-meter-long exhibition that stretches across the beautiful beach of Ankasy Lodge, with the artwork seeming to disappear into infinity.

The Iris, as the purest part of the human body and a window to the soul, is the central theme of this project. By combining the raw power of kitesurfing with the timeless beauty of art, we are creating a truly unique and emotional experience that transcends both sport and culture.

This is the first event of its kind, where 60 kitesurfers will sail from the ocean, seamlessly connecting to the breathtaking art installation on the beach. It's a perfect example of how art and adventure can come together to inspire and elevate each other.
