Tabloid III (2021)

I - Aukus
II - ...time stopped a petrified people, out of time...
III - sie wissen es nicht, aber sie tun es

Commissioned through Ensemble Proton Bern's 'ProtonWerk11' three European concerns, though maybe idealistically, aims to draw attention to three concerns within Europe that I feel deserve greater attention. 

'Aukus', named after the military alliance between Australia, UK, and US showing a dangerous antagonism against the people's of China and South-East Asia.

'...time stopped a petrified people, out of time...' draws inspiration from the continuing stalemate within Cyprus, taking a quote from the Cypriot poet Theodosis Pierdiris as its inspiration.

'sie wissen es nicht, aber sie tun es' draws upon a quote from Karl Marx, but instead of thinking of the processes of Dialectical materialism, the focus shifts to rising right-wing trends across Europe which are often ignored or overlooked, allowing them to grow and become an increasing threat.

Performed by Ensemble Proton Bern, Conducted by Aaron Cassidy

Text von Sophia Stern:

I.
Headlines play
twister with a man in the sky,
godfearing beads
hailing down the wooden steeple in Lviv.

II.
My back is a boat,
concave and pliable. I can speed
through yesterdays, somedays and now – beyond
mists of logic.

III.
A palm rests on my oar,
its crooked fingers combing
the earth for the smallest
memories. Shellshock. So close
my hull splinters where I anchor.
Amnesia shoots through a peephole,
handkerchiefs drowning
in a chemtrail of snow.

IV.
The city glows deeper
right before it falls – I scavenge
for lost socks left behind
at the airport, where only last hopes
check in & the Creator starts from scratch again.

March - Shades of a Dream (2022)

Following the escalation against the Armenian population of Artsakh, by Azerbaijan, I was compelled to respond. 

This particular conflict is often overlooked, meaning sadly those who are directly affected have been mostly ignored by the wider international population. 

This piece is a small token of solidarity and love for those impacted by this genocidal move.
