Vagus Symphony is an experimental poetic short film, an abstract journey without words from the primordial bang to epiphany through the seven continents of the body.
Synopsis
The viewer is taken on a visual – sound journey with the aim to activate the biggest nerve in the human body, the vagus nerve, a system of nerves that connects all vital bodily organs and when in balance promotes glimmers in the soul and encourages empathy across all cultural hierarchies in an increasingly isolated, unequal and polarized world. Vagus Symphony is a collaboration between The Icelandic Love Corporation, music composers Ólafur Björn Ólafsson & Una Sveinbjarnardóttir and The Iceland Symphony Orchestra.
