The open radio (artistic-theoretical) research platform R A D A R presents the seventeenth edition of the audio-visual experience RADART, this time entitled RADAVATART.

“Before matter, there was interference.
Before interference, there was noise.
And the noise never wanted to die.”

RADAVATART is a noise opera about a body composed of four elements that attempts to break itself down into its constituent parts. Earth. Water. Air. Fire. Each element demands its own ritual, its own deity, and its own renunciation. On stage, performers were accompanied by a trampoline, earth, water, fans, signal fire, sirens, radio voices, special guests and circus colleagues to create conceptual art in a self-ironising audio-visual spectacle.

RADAVATART took place on June 4th 2026 in the circus tent on Ambrožev Trg, Ljubljana, as a part of Trojne Salte Festival and the RADART platform. It was also broadcast on FM radio and video streaming services. This audio-visual performance, through noise, radio fiction, and elemental catastrophes, explores whether it is possible to shut down signals by destroying their constituent parts.
So far, it seems not.
Sound never dies )))

The event was organized by the R A D A R team, as part of Radio Študent’s program, in collaboration with Cirkokrog and MismoNismo, with the support of the City of Ljubljana (MOL). For more of our transmissions, please see our webpage:

This transmission requires stereo listening equipment: the piece is divided into two parts – the first part and the second part. Both parts will play simultaneously, the first on the left channel of the stereo multiplex, the second on the right. The audio alert [alert] will indicate the start, when you hear this audio alert [alert] press record on your audio recording equipment. By the virtue of modern technology, you will be able to de-embed the second part of the piece.
