An experiment of synthesis between voice and sound, suspended between writing and improvisation, takes us back to the sister roots of these arts. Amelia Rosselli’s voice, authentic and transparent, lets a glimpse of a soul and becomes music: echoes of different languages, soaring, monochords and hypnotic, furies and sweetness. She inspires a drama that mixes life and art: interviews, biographies, stories, photos, a powerful, ironic and heartbreaking poem, an insidious disease, an original and complex family. Her mystery doesn’t dissolve, but grows, leaving a trail of questions and the dance between Luigi and Elena moves. Sound and voice are born from each other, drawing an ever-changing sound story: at times the mystery of a woman poet who escapes and gives herself to the world is illuminated, awakening in us the nostalgia of a place from which we all come.
