Participatory event - balloon poking as a collective gesture that produces a sound reminiscent of the fireworks explosion as well as the gunshots in a war zone.

(visual poetry with slide projection, on loop)
Dark night
fireworks horizontally deployed
from just around the corner
of where i escaped
from fear but landed at estrangement
invisible sparks with bombing sounds and colours
smoke
gets into the eyes of innocent fighters
in the town where I grew up
LOUD
BOMBING
SOUND
EXPLODE
BURN
BLOSSOM
Fire works
working at its best
i heard them in the dark
i saw them from afar
i even smelt them
in my imagination
in the speechlessness in the light
of the harsh reality of the war.
