This surreal existential tale driven by a musical score tells a story of an anonymous individual, who suddenly finds himself alone in the middle of an ocean, surrounded with his dreams, half-forgotten memories, and visions of the future. We are inside the A.’s world almost like inside a whale’s belly.

2023 will also see the creation of “Tirr Ciwliit Kix”, music-video-dance performance installation on the ability to auto-create and adapt, which is probably the most human feature out of all the others. With the help of the ancient-futurist proto-language (Ursprache), stripped of the rational meaning as we know it, a unique aesthetic, reaching the soul directly, will be created.

In 2024 a creation of a new large scale interdisciplinary opera “ZUAM” will happen. This immersive music theatre performance for 4 singers, Deaf dancer, electronics and visuals will take a form of a 2 hour long ritual, appealing directly to our imagination and subconsciousness. It tells the story of a cyber-ancient tribe living outside of the known reality, suspended between pre-historic times and a distant future. “ZUAM” appears as a “beyond-reason” and “beyond-verbal” protest against the evil and hypocrisy of the world, the rite of life and death, being born and growing old. It will be a pagan cyberpunk story full of ritual mysticism and terror, a hallucinogenic trip and cleansing Catharsis, all in one. More information will follow in late 2023.
