Experimental musical and poetic performance ENERHOMOR

 

We kindly invite you to an experimental musical and poetic performance ENERHOMOR on December 6th at the Writers' Hall (Domus Philologiae).

The performance is created by our Faculty's lecturer Yelyzaveta Drach in order to commemorate Holodomor and illuminate the terrors the Ukrainians are facing today. 


ENERHOMOR is a musical performance about overwhelming darkness that covers Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine these days. It is an electronic ambient and vocal composition with poetic elements and visual effects. 

ENERHOMOR is an experiment with electric current. There will be both light and dark sounds: the cold trembling of an overheated transformer, the indifferent clatter of a meter, a gentle voice that whispers through communication jamming, decreasing signal-to-noise ratio, the tight air after an explosion, the echo of eerie signals, flashes and shadows that have a whimsical nature. 

You can find all details here >> 

The performance will be presented in Ukrainian with translation to Lithuanian.

About the public lecture Runaway Moms: Mothers Who Leave their Families the Twenty-First Century

What does it mean that so many mothers leave their families in twenty-first-century Swedish literature? The lecture takes its point of departure in this question and explores how novels about mothers who leave can be understood as queer resistance against Swedish-branded ideals of parenthood, family, and reproduction. The public lecture will be streamed online.
