NETHERLANDS / Vera Polozkova, Amsterdam
Vera Polozkova will perform a big concert in Amsterdam and present her new book "Lost and found".
Vera Polozkova: "I have written a new book, the first to be published outside of Russia. There are 77 texts in it: about love, about war, about craft, about time, about memory, about what is lost and what is gained. 77, because that’s how much my mom had when she left me last year."
"It's about gratitude for the good fortune of being alive and feeling everything three times more keenly, because now no one knows how much will be released and what remains to be experienced. It’s about what we’ve learned to appreciate after losing a lot forever."
A few years ago, Vera Polozkova and Alexander Manotskov reinvented the ancient genre of antiphon: when poetry, recitation and music merge into one. Over the years, Polozkova and Manotskov have traveled with Antiphones to more than 30 countries, regularly updating the content, but retaining the original concept.
Vera’s new program will feature for the first time songs written for her by Alexander Manotskov, poems that became famous in previous years, and, of course, lyrics from a new book that can be purchased and signed.
Hurry up and buy the cheapest early bird tickets. They’re getting scarcer every day.
