Exploring maternal storytelling and timeless cultural tales, it features ethereal vocals by Areni Agbabian, the kinetic Wing Machine light installation by Boris Acket, and a bilingual Armenian-English libretto by Florian Hellwig. This transmedia project merges newly composed music with improvisation, creating a poetic journey of renewal, resilience, and unity. The Bird of a Thousand Voices offers a captivating experience for all who seek the transformative power of art and myth.
