LUNGOR is a staged work in three parts, comprising twelve songs and poetic monologues that explore our time, our vulnerability, and our ability to keep breathing even when the world around us is shaken.

With choir, strings, flute, piano and guitar, the personal and the societal are woven together into a musical and poetic whole that reflects on love, human dignity and the fundamental 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.
