Messes | #2 Parade and concert, Genoa

Sunday, May 5. Genoa's sky lacks blue, and the sea breeze meets the cloths hanging on the top floors of buildings downtown. This afternoon at Teatro della Tosse Space Is Only Noise goes on stage, a concert-show by Carlo Sampaolesi, an accordionist from Castelfidardo. The performance brings video art, light, and Carlo's performance into dialogue. His accordion meets synthesizers in electronic compositions by Tommaso Settimi, Maurizio Azzan, Giulia Lorusso, and Carlo Elia Praderio. The result is an organic and immersive experience of extraordinary intensity. As Carlo concludes his performance, a procession reaches piazza Matteotti, a short walk from the theater. The demonstrators are protesting in support of Anais, Lea, Davide, Edo, Ema, Jack, Michele, and Paolo, who were violently attacked and arrested by a disproportionate deployment of law enforcement following an altercation, caused by a police car that threatened to run over a dog in front of the Ex Latteria Occupata on stradone Sant'Agostino. This recording tells of the riotous sounds of Genoa, of those who resist with their bodies and rise up in the alleys of the center, and of Carlo's music that rebels against the boundaries of his instrument, creating original scenarios and languages.
