SYMPHONY OF THE URSUS FACTORY

61 min

US PREMIERE Artist Jaśmina Wójcik collaborates with a group of former workers from the now-defunct Ursus tractor factory in Poland to compose an astonishing symphony of sounds and movements based on their physical experience while building tractors. As they perform the movements and sounds interiorized during decades of labor, we learn about their personal histories in an inventive homage to working-class ethics and pride that delights with an epic and emotional grand finale.
