Beyond Words

The singing of a primordial sound that includes all languages, all stories, all lives.

Beyond words is a performative event that symbolically unites spirituality and literature in a visible way. This connection has always existed and will always be present, as true art touches the soul of the viewer or listener. It originates in the soul of the artist and flows to where it finds space and understanding. Like poetry, art is also bound by language. The circle of the OM vibration is a symbolic form of all languages and sounds. It is a generator of high vibration that purifies. Just like artistic catharsis, OM brings emotional cleansing—only the means differ. What they share are voice, whisper, and tears.

Beyond words is an event that symbolically unites Europe in its diversity and brings it into a shared vibration of love. Poems by various authors, interpreted both by artists and 'people from the street', will intertwine in different European languages with the vibration of OM, as individuals imprint the mark of their lives into the sound. It is a unique event that, in the spirit of love and connection—between nations as well as social classes—brings people together and shows that we are all part of a whole that depends on each and every one of us. We are Europe. It is a call for cooperation, respect, and a striving for love, regardless of gender, age, religion—and especially, regardless of the mother language we speak. And it is beautiful to cherish that language wherever we are. This is why Nova Gorica and Gorizia are the perfect places for this harmony of languages, carrying a special historical meaning.

Event programme: Visitors are also participants. Seated in outer and inner circles forming an OM Chanting structure, they will chant the OM sound. This geometric arrangement, combined with the OM sound, generates a pillar of light rising into the sky and radiating outward. At certain points within the circles, people of different cultural backgrounds, profiles, and characters will, each in the rhythm of their own language, whisper, sing, or read spiritual poetry and send it into the sound of the circle.

Duration: 45 minutes without intermission.
