About the contradictions of symbolism and symbolic meaning. With field recordings and Foley sounds about the feeling before nature.

According to Belarussian mythology, there exists a space, called “Vyrai”, unknown to the living
human beings where the souls of ancestors depart after death. A kind of paradise, only birds
seem to witness. We could ask them, but how could we possibly understand their language?
The performance deals with the contradictory nature of symbolism and symbolic meaning,
questioning the human-centric way of relating to birds. Accompanied by the field-recordings and
Foley sounds, this performance is an exploration of the feeling before nature.
