“profound experience” Kozińska on “Unknown, I live with you”
Dorota Kozińska describes her impressions from her visit to the dress rehearsal and the premiere in Brussels: "I entered this space in the dark, surrounded by the music of Glowicka: minimalistic, hazy, but at the same time bursting with underlying emotion. A moment later, from the sounds of string quartet and live electronics, human voices emerged – the register-wandering voice of Lucia Lucas and the poignant scream of dancer Gala Moody. All good and bad memories from Afghanistan crossed my mind. The trauma was back. My doubts were gone. I knew already that the next day I will come face to face

Review “Unknown, I live with you”
Thrilled to share yet another review of "Unknown, I live with you" by German online magazine Rattlermag: "Polish composer Kasia Głowicka explores the junctions between extended techniques of operatic voice and the dramatic potential of live electronics. The emotionality of the folk-inspired melodies meets minimalism of form. It expresses the harshness of the living circumstances of the Afghani writers but as well the power of the female voice striving for emancipation. Sung by a collective of three singers who represent different visions of female/ male dynamics and potential of the human voice. Three strong women create the cast of the performance: the

Polish Magazine Dwutygodnik - interview and article on work of Glowicka. Kompozytorka z misją | Muzyka | Dwutygodnik | Dwutygodnik "Composer with mission" Wioleta Zochowska Fragment in Polish: WIOLETA ŻOCHOWSKA Projekty sceniczne Katarzyny Głowickiej wpisują się w coraz wyraźniejszą we współczesnej operze tendencję do tworzenia dzieł zaangażowanych społecznie N ajnowsza opera Katarzyny Głowickiej i Krystiana Lady „Unknown I Live With You” na pierwszy rzut oka wygląda dość skromnie. Rozgrywa się w półmroku i praktycznie pozbawiona jest scenografii oraz partii orkiestry. Ale też sprawdzonych rozwiązań, do których ostatnio przyzwyczajają nas twórcy sceniczno-muzyczni. To właściwie opera-instalacja, jak poprawia mnie podczas telefonicznej rozmowy kompozytorka. Pewne jest natomiast jedno: „Unknown I Live With
