All three soloists are specialists in their fields: Marine Sablonnière in medieval music, Henri Tournier in North Indian music, and Isabelle Courroy in the pastoral music of the Balkans and Anatolia, deploying the concept of oblique music that brings together music of creation and tradition. The result is a conversation that links times and places, genres and aesthetics. To the audience's delight, their joyful, multi-faceted music takes us beyond the boundaries of time and space.

In this workshop we will transform paper waste that carries the potential for new transformation; written upon, drawn upon, folded, torn, and, ultimately, recycled to begin again. The whole process is an act of deconstruction and reconstruction, recognizing our own place in nature’s rhythm. This workshop will be a creative space, set up as an open studio, creating conditions for all ages (especially for children) to freely explore the creative process.

Fryj, të fryshë, frymë. It’s just a touch? is a ritual workshop by Erdiola Kanda, inspired by her Vlach heritage. Drawing from her grandmother’s stories, Kanda guides participants through a ritual of breath, memory, and transmission over three evenings. Each session includes an incantation, ancestral words, and Kanda’s own writing, reactivating the past and creating a space where generations meet in silence.
