A Choral Path for Stations, Words , Music and Images

An old railway line, the historical Pedemontana in Friuli, Italy. History and the stories that passed along its tracks. A stationmaster’s red cap starts the story: the train beat and all those nameless multitudes passing from one station to the other. Passers-by, migrants of past times, hens, women, everyday people on their way. Signs of time passing by, sticking to the soul of the world. Smugglers on the roads and caves like wounds: groping around, pillaging and raping the landscape. A nameless station – one of the many – waved goodbyes towards the illusion for a better condition. The sound bears the colour of hope, not freed from harsh blows and tough reality. But the scent of apples lightens up the tuning and the sensory commotion of remembering. There is no alternative to living other than proceeding.
