Ivonna Nowicka, pen name Beržaite, is a free-lance translator of prose, poetry and film in linguistic acrobatics mainly between Polish and English and Persian. Her favorite texts to translate are Sufi stories.
She composes her own songs and was a member of traditional music groups Rozśpiewania Warszawskie and Stara Śpiewka specialising in many hundred years old polyphonic Slavic songs. Apart from that she is interested in writing systems, currently appreciating the beautiful Georgian script and soyombo most.
Picture and music have always been a integral part of her inner world and amateur activities. The times of the pandemic have become an opportunity for her to discover and develop her passion for arthousy short animations. And master Andrei Tarkovsky with his "Mirror" has taught her that, even if this is Solar years away from the mainstream mix of catchy subjects, spiritually inclined wo/man does have the right to turn to elusive and unanswered questions and to try and go deep.
