See what's up | Literatura a pop

Does pop have something literary about it? Although these are apparently two poles of culture today — one mass, the other elite — among popular songs we find many examples of texts of literary significance, as well as references to literature. Above all, however, it often turns out that the most powerful hits tell an engaging story that we as listeners do not notice, but subconsciously tell ourselves while listening.

We invite you to explore the unobvious connections between music and painting, dance and literature. Together we will look at how sounds inspire artists, how music is fixed on canvases, how dance turns into an image, and melodies become a source of magic and literary tales. From the works of old masters and Renaissance visions, to ancient dance performances and fantasy worlds, to the lyrics of pop songs, we will look for traces of music where we don't always expect to find it.
