7 to 8.15 p.m., no break

The other half speaks like the moss, the lichen and hums the forgotten songs of the birds. A concert program in which more has its say than the intel­lec­tual human being. The birds, the ice and the water speak; the seasons commu­ni­cate among them­selves. And Circe — the Greek sorceress with a human voice — is asked for advice: through which language can the essen­tials find their way back into our silenced hearts? Sjaella creates a space in which ancient and contem­po­rary music is expressed equally through voices and bodies.
