The evening "Flow"
The closing of the day-long activities will be the evening performance taking place out on the Odra River, between the Piasek Island and the Pokoju Bridge. The event starts at 10 pm and will last approx. 60 min.
At the culminating point, the concert will include more than 240 performers. Its cantata was created by Paweł Romańczuk, developed by the composers from Poland, Israel, Germany and the Czech Republic. Apart from the music, the key role in the show belongs to the buildings surrounding the Oder, and its ships and boats. Together, they will tell the story of the twentieth-century Wroclaw.
For those who want to see the show in a more intimate atmosphere, TV screens will be prepared in several independent points of the city. 'Flow is an opportunity to talk about minorities, who created Wroclaw, get to know their stories, meet with their representatives,' emphasizes Baldwin.
