The idea, as always, is to follow the Unsound journey from start to finish – shows will not be repeated in both cities.Further information can be found in the festival FAQ on our website, or by contacting info@unsound.pl.

The theme for Unsound this year is SOFT POWER. Originally used to describe influence exercised through culture rather than force, the phrase now demands re-examination. Unsound asks what softness and power mean in a time of “might makes right”, global lawlessness, artificial intelligence and algorithmic control – alongside a collective desire for comfort, cosiness, and safety that can feel incongruous.

Apart from the discourse programme, the words SOFT and POWER will shape this year’s performance programme via music and sound, looking at intimacy, vulnerability as well as authority, pressure, volume and scale. In this way, the theme marks a development of our 2024 NOISE theme.

______

Unsound is co-financed by the City of Kraków and the Capital City of Warsaw. The festival is supported by its main partner, the Polish National Foundation. Co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage’s Culture Promotion Fund within the „Music” programme, implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance. The discourse program is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage under the Creative Industries Institute’s Development of Creative Sectors programme. Tianzhuo Chen (aka ASIANDOPEBOYS) and Siko Setyanto present Moyang 先祖& Seaman 漁師 are presented in partnership with The Pavilion Of Dance And Other Performing Arts
