Cascade of Senses
In the dark chamber room, only the light of an overhead projector hits the wall.
Now, a dark drop appears on the glowing glass surface, then a delicate female index finger shapes it into a pale purple color.
Meanwhile, jazz starts playing from the stage, you can know from the crackling of the sound that it plays from a vinyl record.
The colors projected on the wall take various shapes in the meantime, we see sometimes a finger, sometimes a brush on the wall as the colors and shapes become more and more varied and slowly follow the mood of the music.
When we could already divide our attention between the music and the constantly changing pictures, a firm voice speaks up, the young man is saying a poem.
The experience intensifies, the chaos of colors seems to follow already not only the mood of the music, but also the rhythm of the poem. We are not viewers of some mysterious thriller, but of a special performance in the actor training room of Free SZFE
Synesthesia is a special phenomenon in which the boundaries of the senses blur: the stimulus hitting one sense organ automatically and involuntarily triggers another sensation too. The performance is unique and unrepeatable, it fascinates you, keeps you captured, and it is bad when it ends, but it throbs in us for a long time still.
