About the opera

Salt Itinerary multimedia opera transcends theatrical and musical conventions. Reflecting on Art and Madness, it revolves around languages, words as meaning, and words as sound. Both are used as an extension of the body and melted in the construction of the staging as a tangible projection of the resonance of the words through sound and image.

Live audio and video electronic processing and diffusion of the voice, poetry, gestures, music, and drawings create a polyphony of senses and a counterpoint of meanings. Molding sounds, lights, pictures, and movements as if being drawn, painted or carved, Salt Itinerary is a powerful, engaging, and challenging combination of music and drama by one performer that shapes new grounds in electronic music and breaks boundaries between music, theatre, and opera.
