Together with festivals and museums in Oslo, Vienna, Warsaw and Bruges, the Norwegian ensemble Cikada has invited four composers to be inspired for a concert by the video series Children's Games by the artist Francis Alÿs. Kim Myhr invites adults to reconnect with the immediacy, bluntness and wonder of childhood. Pierre Slinckx makes echoes of childhood innocence audible against the backdrop of a dark landscape. Aleksandra Gryka interprets play as silent resistance. And Angélica Castelló lets the musicians play – in the truest sense of the word.
