Moving Voices is the voice of nomadic cultures which travel and fertilize our earth both with their joys and sufferings. It is the voice of itinerant artists, who set up camp for a while to share and explore common artistic languages. It is the voice of all those who travel, who keep moving, who go exploring, as did our Maestro Menuhin.

Artists from various cultures and disciplines will be the ambassadors of the nomadic spirit to express the richness of nomadism in the artistic field. They will produce an intercultural music repertoire using a rhythmic pattern, a melody or sounds from the European heritage as a starting point, with simultaneous work in the field of visual and plastic arts. Video and choreographic work based on the music created will be used for preparing images which will then be projected onto a screen during the multicultural performance scheduled to take place in November in Central Europe (Hungary, Austria and Slovakia), where they will meet nomadic musicians.

Participants: Thierry Van Roy (Artistic director and music producer);
Alan Bern (Musician - accordion); Isabelle Marx (Voice – singer-actress); Milton Paulo (Dancer); Patries Wichers (Visual arts); Shanglie Zhou (Videomaker), Gerry Durkin (Storyteller)
