Dotyk
The finale of this year’s AżTak Festival is a home filled with the ever-new, yet everyday, experience of closeness. A space full of emotion, anxiety, confusion and openness. A home overflowing with hope glowing in the countless shades of love that another person can bestow on us, but sometimes also with the pain of separation and the experience of loss.
During the closing concert the villa on Barska will be filled with the delicate consonances “composing love” straight from the 21st century (“Modern Romance”), nostalgic reminiscences of a poem by James Joyce (“Sweet love, away”), the sounds of anxiety bound up with parting (“Girlfriend”) and pure, unbridled joy (“The Garden of Love”).
About the different colours of love we will be told by acoustic sounds, electronic sounds, and even sounds drawn from specially constructed sound objects — ameublement de musique — built by Kuba Krzewiński.
