With sounds and body memory, the ex-workers of the Ursus Factory re-enact one day of work in a plant that no longer exists. The resulting symphony consists of the choreographed movements of the workers as well as of the technical, administrative and managerial staff, accompanied by the recreated phonosphere of the heavy industry. The Symphony of the Ursus Factory is a creative documentary, which applies the methods of participatory art and social practice, and combines video art. With choreography and experimental music. Above all, though, it is a voice commemorating the Ursus Factory and the industrial and workers’ culture, a voice which fights for the dignity of the working people and for a historical politics that takes notice of their lives.
