THE EXHIBITION
On the walls of the immersive photographic exhibition “Rock’n’Roll is a state of the soul” are hung photos of the great icons of Rock’n’Roll together with those of ordinary people who belong to this great tribe, photos that describe their lives, their history.
Created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Summer Jamboree, the exhibition “Rock’n’Roll is a state of the soul” captures the essence of what Rock’n’Roll was and is through the eyes of the Summer Jamboree.
A state of the soul. A state of consciousness of sharing and love.
There is a very deep connection, something special, able to unite and nourish the soul of all those who are part of this great community.
It is something that goes over words and boundaries and cannot come into being until you learn to accept yourself and others.

ROCK’N’ROLL ICONS
As musicians we are ambassadors, musical ambassadors, and our job is to make people happy. And that’s really important today because there are so many people who politically make others unhappy or make it very difficult to be happy. So it’s really important for musicians to help people find their happiness and their fullness of mind. And to unite – not separate.
BURLESQUE
What is burlesque? A predecessor of the striptease, born in Victorian England, where the girl on stage provokes the crowd, waddles, winks, strips herself of her superfluous veils and then, poof, disappears.
