Whispers of Memory

This participatory documentary-feature radio play for children and adults emerged in cooperation with children, the elderly, and radio creatives who drew a sound map from the tales and narratives of the past and present in the Lož Valley. The rich documentary materials intertwine with the story of the boy who is carried into the sky by the eagle, taking him on a flight from the Stari Trg to the Cerknica Field, from Mt Snežnik to the Križna Caves – and from once upon a time until today.
