January
Question of identity: Who are we, who do we want to be?
February
Dragon and snake caught in shaped bodies.
March
The winter months pass, the hours of sunlight increase again. Light in the darkness.
April
Shaping of the innocent, untouchable, as a contrast to the Christian holidays of the month.
May
Beginning of the first festivals. Melodies of the birds and the awakening human resound.
June
Limbs dance in early summer. New perceptions, chaos of getting to know each other, an interplay.
July
The sounds of summer drive along louder through the days and nights. Contrast: classical and modern.
August
A wandering of the eye in the Spreewald. Reflection of the forest as a capture of reality.
September
Will-o’-the-wisps and the midday woman. A meeting of Sorbian saga symbolism.
October
Questioning the Self. Reformation: division of the Protestant and Catholic, division of the Sorbs, division of the people.
November
Month of creative expression. Retreat due to the darker and colder winter days. Creating and playing out.
December
Month of get-togethers. Hands as a symbol of community.
