Aleksandra Bajde’s scenic musical work for a female singer/performer, ensemble, electronics, movement, video and light explores the complex relationships between sound and silence, tension and release, movement and stillness, light and darkness, and melody and noise. It examines the simultaneous perception of sound, movement and light in tangible, geographical places, as well as the metaphysical landscapes giving space to other meanings, feelings, dreams, and symbols. The synaesthesia of this musical work for the stage also reflects the process of its creation, for it is the product of collaboration of many people merging their artistic languages and skills.

Aleksandra Bajde’s composition Self-Portraits in Imaginary Places was awarded the Theodor Körner Förderpreis Award.
