The work, carriend out during the WarSoVie Festival, was a part of the FF—Temporary Autonomus Zone event. The event presented art created by women, with a political, feminist message. The aim of the work with seniors was bringing the older genaration in the debate, dominated by young artists and critics. The direct inspiration was the book by a surrealist Leonora Carrington, Hearing trumpet, in which a group of pensioners does a revolutionary overturn and finds the Holy Grail. The composition was based on an original repertoire of the „Retro.Art.Bem” choir, with an addition of authorial psychodelic deconstruction.
