The radio play Twenty Four is a recitative queer (love) poem for voices and two choirs. The storylines of the solo characters intertwine with the thick textures of the mass vocal clouds, creating the atmosphere of mystical rite. The inner journey of the main female character occurs as a dreamlike geological well, allowing to dig deeper into the spheres of fear, uncertainty, and  memory. The number “24” codes alchemical conjunction, fulfillment, and completeness. The radio play is based on the archetypal scheme of the hero myth, offering its poetic, contemporary approach of a radio art: a liturgy of tectonic layers of subconsciousness.
