NATALIA PIECZURO / THIS KIND OF BIRD FLIES BACKWARDS

19 April, 2015 garage29 OFFESTIVAL

15.5.15/OFFESTIVAL

“This kind of bird flies backwards” is the first presentation of “work in progress” by Natalia Pieczuro. For this solo Natalia took as an inspiration “moments that make one feel alive”.
Her choice of working with Amenra – Belgian post-metal band – was directed by conviction/ feeling, that this kind of music speaks for intensity of these experiences -that are often hard to describe by words.

Using her body she constructs her language and confronts a question: “How do we live the moments of extreme happiness and sadness” ? “Are these moments, moments of sharing or moments of loneliness” ?
