The first Romanian sound performance recorded and edited for an immersive experience, Sails is an audio drama based on an original script built like a transversal journey through the history of mankind. We swirl in a spiral of a biological and historical time that contains landmarks from the past, but also from the future as our imagination can embrace it.

Written and directed by Ilinca Stihi
