In Search of Magic
by Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson and the Magic Team

During Nordic Music Days, the video work In Search of Magic – A Proposal for a New Constitution for the Republic of Iceland from the visual art, music and activist performance of the same name by visual artists Libia Castro & Ólafur Ólafsson and the Magic Team, will be on display and for viewing in the Nordic House.

In Search of Magic is screened all days of the festival, 12 – 16 October, on a screen in the meeting room of the library of the Nordic House. There visitors will have the opportunity to watch, listen and familiarize themselves with the work with the help of a remote control and can therefore choose specific items, chapters, articles of the constitution and the music of the work.
