Return to the Voice is a mesmerizing polyphonic song cycle inspired by traditional Scottish music and poetry.

In addition, the production explores frequencies that transcend human hearing, creating a deeply immersive and transformative experience.
Moreover, under the direction of Grzegorz Bral, Return to the Voice features the innovative compositions of Maciej Rychły and Jean Claude Acquaviva.
