Description
The performance Strange People Stand Very Strangely is based on the new cycle of nine songs by Platons Buravickis with the words of Daniil Kharms (from the collection of poems for children, translated by Kārlis Vērdiņš). These songs are performed by baritone Armands Siliņš with a live accompaniment by Platons Buravickis analog synthesizer, and analog film projections. The interaction of sound, light and image, objects and body movements attracts the audience to the concert performance, introducing the world of analog synthesizers and cinema projections and combining elements of contemporary music and visual arts, theatre and experimental cinema in an engaging way according to Harm’s spirit.
