World Premiere of Rəsiliəncə by Dr Robert Casteels

by | Sep 26, 2020 | News

Catch the world premiere of Rəsiliəncə, a project conceived and directed by Dr. Robert CASTEELS, a CSS Full Member!

What is Rəsiliəncə About?

Rəsiliəncə sonically and visually echoes our individual responses to the sanitary, ontological and teleological crisis of COVID-19 that has affected all of us worldwide.

Resilience refers to our capacity to recover from difficulties and to our mental elasticity to spring back into new shapes. The fundamental message of this project is that resilience within the safety net of a strong social cohesion enables us to overcome the onslaught of a massive crisis that was damaging the very fabric of our lives. Hence, the inverted ?mark before and the !mark after this project’s title Rəsiliəncə!
