(Balkan) NIGHTMARE
by Luan Durmishi
This project comes after three years of intensive work, spanning time between 1132 (referring to Albanian Byzantine music) up to variations as well as time and culture levels characteristic for modern day music. With a professional visual support, this project transmits collective social and cultural engagement that is NIGHTMARE's unique goal.
"The Black King appears dressed under the veil of the mundane costume that swirls, groans, disfigures and decodes, within his majesty, and against his own."
