Codes 2021
Since its inception, Codes has been inspired by the persistence and evolution of cultural phenomena, the wandering of signs, symbols and myths; tracing the non-obvious connections between ancient and modern, archaic and recent. This year's edition, with the motto "Evocation", will deal with reflections and inspirations between the forms of old and new music. Historical and ethnic musicalities inspired by Renaissance, Baroque, Polish tradition and genres of contemporary music - improvised, meditative, engaged and therapeutic - will become present. Our evocations during this year's festival are directed in very different directions: towards forgotten sounds of lost cultures, towards distant islands, towards intimate tangles of carnality and sound, towards eternal Platonic ideas.
