The performance will take place on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 19:30 at Beton Cinema, Dom mladih (Ulica slobode 28, Split), and the entrance is free.

"Find Your Sound" is an innovative project that combines contemporary circus and radio drama, creating a unique audiovisual experience for the audience. This fusion of visual arts, performative expression, and layered sound effects forms a narrative that strongly stimulates the imagination and establishes a deep emotional connection with the viewers.
The storyline is based on an original radio drama, filled with elements of adventure and inner conflict. The main character, navigating through a sensory world of sound, faces a series of challenges that push him toward introspection and the discovery of inner strength. Through rich narration, dynamic dialogues, and sound effects, the audience is immersed in a journey full of surprises and powerful emotional moments.
The artistic inspiration for the project comes from the blend of traditional mid-20th-century radio dramas and contemporary circus expressions. Additionally, the project is motivated by the desire to revitalize public spaces through art and promote a culture of active participation and community.
