ZUAM
…is an irrational protest against the hypocrisy and the evil of the world, the rite of life and death, of being born and growing old. …is a pagan cyberpunk story full of ritual mysticism and terror, hallucinogenic trip and cleansing Catharsis. …is as much a rebellious stance against a found reality as it is a metaphysical ceremony, spoken through our distant ancestors’ as well as our grand-, grand-, grandchildren’s tongues.
***
Formally inspired by the Zaum idea of a transrational intuitive language, based on sound symbolism, ZUAM tells the story of a cyber-ancient tribe living in an unknown world and reality, suspended between pre-historic and distant future.is a new contemporary opera for soprano, electronics and multimedia.ZUAM
