n the half-light of an immersive proposal, this musical journey is the blend of «un étrange voyage», wandering through a nascent Europe where the Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet sees his beloved one everywhere, and the epic tones of the Hungarian musician Csaba Palotai’s guitare.
«Un étrange voyage» is a long love prose poem written in the chaotic post-war Europe, leading Nazim Hikmet to Moscow and cuba in crisis in 1961, while new political and utopian sharings are brutally reshaping the world.
Out of the ruins of History, Europe, revolutions, wars, the poem gets itself into us to breathe life into the wandering of an exile faced with his century, his life.
