IN COLLABORATION WITH: ACADEMIA DE ESPAÑA EN ROMA
All Isms or Almost is a project which starting point is the compilation of about 1200 terms ending in the suffix ismo to create several musical pieces --of very different genres--, supported by a visual apparatus filmed in Bramante's Tempietto in San Pietro in Montorio as a private performance with no predetermined script. The only references used to feed the filming were several musical/sound compositions made in the days prior to the filming in collaboration with musician Andrea Messina at the Hynkipunk recording studio in Trastevere, Rome. The project is currently in post-production and will be presented, foreseeably, in December 2023. The project is fueled by a fierce experimental spirit that involves the use of sources as diverse as the terms used, ranging from the hermetic tradition to Dalí, Gómez de la Serna, Lenin, Goebels, Dolores Ibarruri, Mina Loy or Petrarca. A significant part of the project pays tribute to Spanish mysticism and more specifically to Teresa of Avila.
