LUNGOR (‘lungs’) is a staged work in three parts featuring twelve songs and poetic monologues about our time, our vulnerability, and our ability to keep breathing.
With choir, strings, flute, piano, and guitar, the personal and the societal are woven together into a musical and poetic whole about love, dignity, and the ultimate questions of life. The album LUNGOR was released on 15 November 2025 and is available both as a collection of song poems and as a music album.
