You were eating an onion… Poetry reading and piano improvisation

Languages: Belarusian and English

This performance exists only in the moment: a shared, transient experience where poetry and music meet and dissolve.

Hanna's poems show how pain can be transformed into beauty.

Alexia’s music is created live, in direct response to the spoken word. Rather than a fixed musical setting, her piano improvisation unfolds as a living conversation with the poetry. Her approach is inspired by a Japanese aesthetic practice similar to water calligraphy (mizu shodō), where meaning lies in the fleeting act of creation — something that appears briefly and then disappears.

Part of the proceeds will be donated to support Belarusians affected by political repression.
