Leavingroom

The theme of the multimedia composition LeavingRoom is changing relationships within individual relationships and in a globalized society. It focuses on pushing the delicate line between respect, acceptance, adoration, rejection and hatred. It points to the radicalization of the environment, reflects on the impulses that trigger it, and draws on media images of these changes. In relationships, opinions, attitudes and personal preferences. Fragments of posts, comments, messages, form the basis of the textual and audio material of the work. These fragments of intercepted, recorded and published messages are the starting point for melodic outlines, rhythmic patterns, and density of soundscapes, created from statistical data on the frequency of keywords. The work does not try to evaluate, appeal, adore, highlight or condemn. It does not try to be illustrative or imperative. This leaves it up to the viewer and their perception. LeavingRoom is sound-spatial ambience of life, a symbolic superspace of states, meetings, departures and goodbyes.

The project involves artists, from Portugal, Slovenia and Czech Republic who have already created several full-length multimedia works in this line-up in the past six years, which have been performed on prestigious stages in the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland and U.S.A. These were the operas MarIscha, TiAmo, Sara’smile and I-ME. These works received the highest ratings and interest. Reviews of these works were published in music journals and online periodicals.
