"Brilliant. Paperwings' music drama performance 'String Fling' is magnificent from start to finish...
Concert of the year? Definitely."
"Extremely creative artist captivates with a spectacular live version of String Fling...
Judging by String Fling, Jenny Soovik has a remarkable talent for composing genre-crossing works whose power enchants."
About "String Fling"
"I prepare myself for the unknown. Something different. Out of the safely ordinary and into the extraordinary. Something dramatic, rebellious. Perhaps a bit too much? Or is it actually too little? What is just right, and do I even want to be just right?
I let myself be struck, seduced, flung into the music. I fly freely through time and space, from the small to the vast, in joy and sorrow, hope and despair. Suddenly, I find myself on the other side, perhaps completely transformed?"
Paperwing String Fling is about casting away the old, embracing one's darkness and finding your light. Inspired by a time of rebellion and drama, artist Paperwing creates a resonant narrative that touches the innermost parts of us all. Voice and strings unite with light, movement, and electronic atmospheres. Marie Antoinette in a whole new way.
It's a string fling. It's something else.
