Sofia's fascinating personality inspired the WAKS ensemble. The songs she collected in the shtetl of the Ukraine, which was marked by civil war, pogroms and hunger, are full of intensity and have a depressing topicality.

WAKS has reconstructed and musically traced four of these journeys using the wax rolls, which can be precisely assigned in terms of time and topography. Original compositions by WAKS, modern song arrangements, original phonograph recordings in harmony with the voice of the present-day singer and recitations from Sofia's fictional diary are interwoven into an exciting and multi-layered concert program. Multimedia elements such as video projections or recorded sounds complement the project with a sensual and dramatic effect and bring the voices from a bygone world to the stage.
