The universe is still forming.
A SWND BZR experience.
World 01We mix sound, myth and place to open new worlds for Maputo's night: a platform where audiences discover new sounds and artists grow beyond the established circuits.
(a)Every edition of Paralunia opens a new world. Each world has its own story, its own sound and its own night.
(b)The first world is Primordia: a world without memory, awakened by sound. A relic, a prophecy carved in stone, five travellers and the night they gather.
