Ritual story telling

Močvara, Trnjanski nasip bb, 10000, Zagreb, Croatia
Description
Spalarnia performance blends poetry with minimalistic electronic soundtrack and live improvised music. Simple accounts of imaginary happenings that move promiscuously between frames of time and metonymy are told in a serene voice that adheres to the meditative rhythms of the sounds. The quasi-ritualistic qualities create a space for abstract storytelling about quasi-utopian communities and an idealised past.
