NEOLINGUA

NEOLINGUA is the language that conforms to orthodoxy, a vocabulary that disavows regional identities, jargons, dialects, in favour of a single, simple, 'smart' language.

But can linguistic impoverishment be not only the effect, but the cause of cultural impoverishment?

Can standardisation lead to an atrophy of thought?

Can ignorance be the real secret of control?

And can culture be its only antidote?

By asking himself these questions, Malasomma begins a process of creation that uses terms from the Orwellian neo-language, and new words that have recently entered the Italian language, as narrative cues.

The electronic and mechanical sounds of modernity blend with distant acoustic echoes, prepared percussion and ideomes in forgotten - yet still spoken - languages.
