EPISODE TWO | Shallows
Kanonersky island, the beach behind the garages
24 July, 18.00

The second episode of the festival is held at the new location and, therefore, along with the geography gets a different concept, refusing to "firm soil" literature (or what today is considered to be any) and going up on shaky Shallows other socio-cultural practices that tacitly excluded from the symbolic production.If before the first episode of the poet's goal was to make the sacrifice well-established identity and has become a form of representation, but the tank just technically forced to abandon its traditional form and - scream, make stencils, use various technical means for reproducing voice and text, the second episode will more deep drilling prevailing institutional context of poetry.

That is how we intend only to point to the top of the iceberg, which is unseen by poetry.
