LESS (Chaosdroid – Amalia Roxana Filip and Boris Vitázek) performed a audiovisual performance commissioned by the festival. Language exercises for sonic spaces (LESS) started as an experiment for a futurological congress. Its aim is to merge sound, visuals and virtual reality in a playful exploration of spoken and unspoken language(s). The topic explored at NEXT will be understanding the alien, the unmet and the unfathomable. Will two beings talking different languages manage to convey their thoughts and emotions to each other? Or will they remain trapped in the forms of word-sounds?
