Expo.02 > Canton days - Arteplage Neuchâtel: Canton day St.Gallen

Eight communities from the Canton of St.Gallen took part at the Canton day at the Expo.02. In a two hour show on various stages, squares and in the lac of Neuchâtel they presented  their Canton with music, sport and humour. The performance contained elements which were traditional, original and unconventional: Rock music alternated with choral chants and alphorn, synchronised swimmers followed by a vaulting group, rowing and then aerobics dancers - everything could be viewed live or as a live broadcast on big screens.
