Orchestra, soloists, electronics, film and various aspects of spatiality. In Ewa Trębacz’s piece, space is expanded thanks to the oldest texts created by man, and the dimensions of music in ambisonic sound projection. From queer joy (Sara Glojnarić) to music for a silent film exploring the grotesque dimension of excess, social inequality and the objectification of women (Zosha di Castri). From lament and protest against the systemic injustice spreading throughout the world (Idin Samimi Mofakham) to another musical reference to “transparency”—the slow seeping of light from somewhere outside us (Wojtek Blecharz). There is a finale, and in it there is hope.
