KACES

When we first designed the Dream Orchestra in 2010, we saw “isolation” as one of the most urgent conditions in children’s lives. At the time, the intensity of college entrance competition had already reached elementary school, and many children were being pushed into highly competitive, lonely environments.

Fifteen years later, children’s lives have not become easier. They remain caught in the competitive trap of the education system while social and economic inequality continues to deepen their vulnerability. Declining physical and mental wellbeing, weakened community ties, and the replacement of direct relationships with media-based activities have also left them increasingly disconnected.

La enseñanza artística es el gigante dormido del cambio social. 

Y ese gigante está despertando. Al menos eso es lo que afirmo, en mi incesante defensa del ámbito mundial. 

KACES se debatió sobre la mejor manera de planificar la celebración, un hito importante para nosotros. Irónicamente, minimizar el contacto humano se convirtió en la misión principal de un concierto diseñado para unir a la gente. Al final se nos ocurrió la idea de un concierto sin contacto y empezamos a poner en marcha un plan distinto a todos los que habíamos probado antes.
