ORTSTERMIN 22: Performances part of the program “echoes” with Jana Shostak, Ada Rączka and Natan Krysz, 27 August 2022, 7:00 PM



ORTSTERMIN FESTIVAL with Pickle bar organize a mutual event within the scope of the project “Echoes” in which three Warsaw-based artists have been invited to make sound and poetry performance.

Jana Shostak’s performance whispers present-day voices to us, telling stories from her experiences this past year as an activist on the Ukrainian-Polish border. Ada Rączka will do a reading of poetic texts that circulate around the emotions and states of the body that can appear in the moment of speaking or remaining silent. Their texts were originally written in Polish in which non-binary expression differs from the way it’s expressed in English. At the end of the evening in the Pickle Bar, Natan Kryszk will play a solo concert with a self-built instrument and saxophones.
