Cologne opts for light at New Year

cologne - The large square in the Cologne Cathedral will stage during the New Year with a big light show. Last year was the celebration on the square completely out of control and came to the police hundreds of declarations in women who were attacked, robbed and sexually harassed.

The show of light artist Philipp Geist has to change the square into a 'light-dream space' and forget the woes of the previous turn of the year. 'The best answer to the horrors of last year to develop new images with a positive art form,' says the artist Tuesday.

The city said that an urgent decision to allow the show.
