Light and darkness. One ensemble – six soloists. Six composers (three women, three men) representing different generations and various parts of the world. Bass clarinet, cello, violin, flute, percussion, piano and toy piano, as well as electronics. In the end, their voices merge into a single pulsating organism in a work by the American minimalist Michael Gordon. The accompanying event (in Czech) highlights significance of the House of Art Industry and Czechoslovak Werkbund in 1920s and 1930s, with designers such as Ladislav Sutnar.
