JustArt: Embracing, Unravelling and Smashing the Fantasy

Embracing, Unravelling and Smashing the Fantasy

It is a sound art performance for DIY clay mask flutes, hand-made accordions, synthesizers, performed by Juice and cellist Santi Lowe. It reimagines nine Western fairytales and Eastern folktales, offering an audio journey that unsettles nostalgia and invites new interpretations. These tales evoke compassion, valour, imagination, sacrifice, curiosity, and transformation, forming a shifting tapestry of cultural and moral depth.
