About 25.000 visitors took part in Leipzig Festival of Lights on 9 October 2015. The emphasis of Festival is on issues surrounding civil society. "Liberty - Equality - Fraternity?" was the motto of 2015 - critically backlighting this statement and, thus, punctuated by a question mark. The identity of the individual in a Germany, once divided and now reunited for 25 years, was the intellectual starting point of the evening. A tension-filled panorama was created through the interaction and interplay of text, image and music.

Throughout the evening, the visitors of the Festival of Lights are, as in previous years, formed an illuminated "89" with thousands of candles.
