Israeli organisers have planned events around the installation to honour Nova victims, including Israeli DJs, music from handpan drummer Noah Katz and “healing sound experiences,” such as a gong performance from David Shemesh.

Organisers said, “The music will be the tool that will connect all the participants, tell the story of the murdered, and convey the message of hope, unity and renewal.”

At 6.29 am, the same time that Hamas attacked Nova, Burners will pause to honour the victims of October 7.

The events will be protected by “guardians,” recruited by the organisers to watch over the installation in shifts and ensure “meaningful connections are made to the art".

The installation was co-created by the team behind Nova as well as longtime Burners and members of Tribe of Nova, a support group for October 7 survivors and bereaved loved ones.

In an Instagram post, Tribe of Nova said: “The Nova Heaven performance was born out of a deep mission and a desire to send a message of understanding, peace, love, unity and holiness, and to commemorate the 405 Nova Angels, who were brutally murdered at the Supernova Festival, and the Pesidak event on October 7.

“The performance is intended not only to preserve the memory of the murdered but also to tell their story and the story of our community, which experienced one of the worst terrorist attacks in history.”

The group added, “We see this performance as a place for gathering, healing and finding strength to continue forward. We invite everyone to join us on this journey, where we will connect to light, memory, and the strong and holy spirit that unites us all.”
