Being inspired by traditional sound kites espec. from Malaysia SKO will hold its first 5-day-workshop in Venice exploring the possibilities to play with the wind. In a daily routine the eight members will test and improvise on the beach of San Nicoletto their kite instruments to prepare for a public performance at noon on Sunday, April 28th, 2019.
