With Unrecognisable, Lolina transformed Teatro del Lavoro into a space suspended between concert and performance.
Between pop influences, echoes of 1970s prog and electronic experimentation, the artist created a sonic universe made of loops, scratching and manipulation. The characters of Paris Hell and Geneva Heat brought a sequence of musical stories to life, shaping a hypnotic experience.

➺Il silenzio e l’emergere del suono
led by Daniel Boeke
wo days of sonic exploration designed to bring the youngest participants closer to music through listening, play and discovery. The workshop, aimed at children aged 6 to 10, invited participants to pay attention to the soundscape around us and guided them in recognising and creating sounds, discovering how intention can transform a simple noise into a musical gesture. Through games, improvisation exercises and creative activities inspired by the work of John Cage, Alvin Lucier and Cornelius Cardew, the workshop offered a rich and engaging sensory experience.
