Lenia Safiropoulou – Andrej Hovrin

Transit Songs
Α song recital in front of a poetic landscape

Mezzo-soprano Lenia Safiropoulou and Andrej Hovrin will host an evening of singing, poetry, and video art dedicated to tangible and intangible frontiers: the borders across places, time, and soul. From Ludwig van Beethoven to Benjamin Britten, people have been singing to allay their fears and to be able to brave the dark woods; in effect, to be able to traverse through the unclear limits of being. Singing is an appeal to all those who stand on the other side of the border, gazing at impassable lands, lost time, or a reflection of themselves. Singing calls back to mind everything lost from our eyes on account of borders. Singing is a trance that enables one to move on from the present moment of fear or hope or expectation, when words do not suffice to make the transition from sobriety to ecstasy. It is a movement of the soul, a boat floating on a river of borders.
