On Time and Water. Performance by Andri Snær Magnason and Bartek Wąsik
Can words and music express the joy and loss brought by passage of time? This unique one-off performance will underline how passing of time can be put into words and music. The poet and activist, Andri Snær Magnason will meet with the Polish musician, Bartek Wąsik to create a performance which will be an ode to the beautiful planet that we live on, with the persistence of time at its centre. The performance will explore the relationship between human memory and the natural world, and serve as a reminder of what it is, we are fighting to preserve.

He has won numerous awards in national and international competitions, including the Fryderyk Award and the “Polityka” Passport in 2014. His new album, Pianorizon is also inspired by his love of nature.
The performance will be preceded by the screening of ”Time and Water”. The ticket is both for the film screening and the performance.
