Inspired by E. T. A. Hoffmann and his stories, Ina Kancheva developed a second project in the “Music in a Book” concept – the work The Strange Child, championing the freedom of fantasy against the limitations of conventionality. A poetic view on the subject of the material and the immaterial, of whether to have or to be, presented as an impression of the notion of the mortality of man and the eternity of nature.
