“Book of Glagolitic Dreams” is written for two singers, piano, accordion, viola, tape and video. The work deals with the themes of loneliness and isolation. An important part of the piece is formed by 13 texts that reveal the nature of loneliness through various everyday objects. The texts are written in the medieval Glagolitic alphabet.

The concert is part of COMMUTE#7, the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre's festival of sound, visuals and music technology, subtitled “Well-being”. The festival runs from 8 to 16 May and this year focuses on mental health.

The work is in Russian, with Estonian subtitles.

The festival is organised by the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, with support from the Cultural Endowment of Estonia and the City of Tallinn.
