The project investigates the expressive possibilities of language from the point of view of rhythm, melody and sound. 
You will experience listening to a poem made semantically unrecognisable because of the altered order of consonants, although rhyme, metrical scansion,  accent and intonation are maintained: the result is something absolutely  incomprehensible but absurdly familiar.
The same method is used to re-elaborate poetry in eleven languages  by working on particularly poems from each of the chosen tongues: Leopardi in  Italian, Shakespeare in English, Lasker-Schueler in German, Lermontov in Russian, Hernˆndez in Spanish and so on with French, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, African, Portuguese  sonorities, in a ideally in progress work.
