Live Concert at Bimhuis, Amsterdam 2023
Roda
A spell dictated to the human being, trapped in a cycle "Roda" of consumption of material goods. The doubt between the right and the risk, prison and freedom, death and life.
​
"Wheel, sorrow loose in the west wind, turn and turn in the turns you've taken, hard life in the corner of certainty that the day brings you. Risk, eternal cause of your dismay, betray death on the back of time, turn life into luck that revolves around the wheel ".
