The conclusion of the concert will be enriched with one non-excludable element – the Sun.
The time and world is so diverse. There is a dark, and there is a light, night and morning, winter and summer. There is the world that reveals itself to our eyes and there is a world that could not be seen – the one we live and the one beyond. There is the world created by the nature and the one created by the hand of men. The feminine and masculine, expressed and hidden. The world of a non-stop movement and interaction. The word is a part of the world, a part of its beginning, and the first impulse of its creation. It is a vibration, energy that affects the space of the world. The core elements – the earth, fire, water and air – the four words, each of which is holding in a whole world.
