In 1989, one of the world's longest regimes came to an end in Paraguay with the overthrow of Alfredo Stroessner's 35-year dictatorship, leading to the abandonment of its audiovisual archives. Decades later, recovered footage—newsreels, broadcasts, propaganda—reveals the regime’s power mechanisms. A visual journey through media history, exposing indoctrination, Cold War alliances, and lasting political influence.

A solo set featuring improvisations inspired by his highly acclaimed 2024 album I Can Feel My Dreams. This performance will blend field record- ings, wind instruments, synth strings, and delicate sampling techniques, creating sonic collages that oscillate between gentle familiarity and dream- like distortions. The result is a warm, immersive experience that transcends time, reflecting the interconnect- edness, universality, and shared experiences among us all. Through this soundscape, Damian invites the audience to pause and reflect on their thoughts and emotions.
