VIR is an opera hackathon, which is based on the concept of open work with parts containing verbal instructions, sheet music – classical music notes and graphic symbols. The improvisational parts will be carried out within the “already prepared” sound-painting live composing language. In addition the artists use specially reconstructed or newly created instruments made for this occasion.
