​​

Duration 60 minutes, in the dark, 30 minutes after sunset.

 

Basis of the composition:

Texts from the opera “Mavka” by the Ukrainian composer Stefanija Turkewych-Lukijanawych

or from the play “Das Waldlied” by the Ukrainian author Lesja Ukrajinka,

Texts from the Swiss folk song “Lueged vo Bärg und Tal”

News on YouTube, etc., with snippets of words from mothers and fathers, women, men, and Children from areas related to the core theme of LP25.

The core theme is the contrast between here, our standard of living, where we can calmly wait for a response to an unanswered call or message, where we can shape our daily lives according to our own free choices,

and there, the war zones, where an unanswered call leaves us with an oppressive fear: Where is the person I was just looking for, how is she doing, what is he doing, hopefully???...

​

We will take a maximum of 8 guests on board.

For this there will be a

workshop from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in June, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in August/September

Next 20 minutes: Voice and movement experiments.
