SAAL Biennaal comes differently this time – with its own radio. It's a radio which complements, contributes, adds and develops further. A radio which plays with different mediums, with sound vibrations, words and understandings. A radio which moves between texts, forms, shapes, pieces. A radio which tests the boundaries of the works presented at the festival, mediates what resists mediation and expands the time-space around each piece.

A radio that searches.
A radio that creates.
A radio that lives.

There are three formats on the go:

absent translations – a live transmission of the audience member's subjective experience in an auditory or textual format on spot or after the performance. A handshake between mediums, a translation for those who are absent.

.doc – an orgy of interpretations, bacchanal in the landscapes of meanings. Our radio guests interpret, translate, imagine a work out of its previous documentations before experiencing the piece themselves. An investigation into performances' documents.

persona - everything that fits in the format of a conversation.
