The human body is a locus of contradictions I
19.04.2025 / 03:40 min Live performance
Reflections upon the emotional perception of aging.
"The human body is a locus of contradictions. This is something we experience first of all in our own body. Its strength gives us a feeling of fulfillment; its weakness makes us aware of its heaviness and limitations. Its beauty is a source of pride, making us effortlessly attractive and significantly facilitating our relationship with others. Its ugliness, on the other hand, gives us complexes, humiliates us, and at times make our social life more difficult. The body constantly make us aware of its heaviness, its weakness, its limitations, and consequently those of our entire being....and paralyze many of the functions of the soul. The body and the soul derive pleasure or pain by turns from that which differentiates them as much as from their intimate union. Sometimes their co-existence expresses itself as a fruitful collaboration, sometimes as an intolerable cohabitation. Their common life fluctuates between being a case of troublesome tension or a blissful feeling of unity and harmony." (Jean-Claude Larchet)

Whalo for the Forests (Whales: The Rainforest of The Sea)
19.04.2025 / 03:40 min Live performance with Whalophone
"A recognition of the contribution that whales make in the fight against global warming and climate change could be a valuable alternative to high-tech solutions or expensive programmes. Humanity needs to change its attitudes to recognise that all organisms serve an important role in the global ecosystem."
