BORDERS AND BRIDGES (2)
Music also bypasses boundaries, lines, demarcation lines, obstacles, barriers. The same songs are played from Slovenia to Portugal.
SO SAID (1)
“If someone plays a song and 1,000 people all start crying, then the source of the melancholy can’t be far.” (Hiraeth score 8.5)
BORDERS AND BRIDGES (1)
There are many more bridges than borders. Bridging bridges. They connect. They bring together what was separate.
WANTED / FOUND (1)
Less than 24 hours before departure. Gathering and packing things. Tomorrow at 9.30 am the search starts. A quest for “the source of melancholy”. Melancholy is a feeling; we can agree on that. But what exactly is it?
And where do we find that source?
“Melancholy, I suppose?”
“Balkan, you have a feeling!” “Que?” Melanholija / melankolia / μελαγχολία / malinconia / melankolija / melancholia / melanholija / melancolía / меланхолија!
Support Concert
The Hiraeth project started with a support concert in the beautiful city Ghent, hometown of initiator Wouter Vandenabeele.
