Night, secret, dark, blood, invisible, are some of the words pronounced by different voices in Spanish, Turkish, Italian and Persian. They are accumulated in order to generate progressive variations and inedited conglomerations of sounds in form of a rose, as series of reiterative, cryptic and isolated events.
The words, related to the idea of the Rose in the ancient Persian and Italian poetry, mostly inspired by Sa’adi Shirazi (“Golestan” ) and by Cielo d’Alcamo (“Rosa fresco aulentissima”), are interlaced in a cyclic form. Each time the conglomerations are reproduced, some fragments fall fade away, in a progressive selection based on the similarity of pronunciation.
The shadow play by Adelheid Kreisz let the formal structure to surface, creating visual echoes to the sound.
