‘A Tale Of…’ brings together poets and musicians to demonstrate the power and beauty of the muse. 
The centerpiece of this evening is ‘A Tale of Two’, a 30-min multimedia poetry dialogue and meditation on love, life, art. It is a collaboration between two poets Marina Kazakova (BE) and Sara Mano (IT). They take a road through the favourite verses of great poets – alchemists from different centuries, as sparkles. You just need to listen – and we will hear the innermost secrets, learn about the muses of Sappho, Francesco Petrarca, Dante Alighieri, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Marina Tsvetaeva, Igor Severyanin, Joseph Brodsky. The answers to all our questions are stored in encrypted messages of poets, they contain the whole palette of human feelings – love and grief, resentment and forgiveness, sin and temptation. You can overcome whole distances without fear, and stop 5 millimetres from your fate – this is the discovery they want to share in their new performance through the voices of famous poets and their own.
