Squeezeangezaum

Squeezangezaum is Gianni Toti’s fourteenth Opera Poetronica . He connects poetry, science and imagination in multiple new ways. Using sophisticated video technology and a vast archive of images, Toti unfolds the history of Russian film which he transforms by video means. This work is committed to the ideas of the Russian poet and theorist Velimir Vladimirovic Chebnikov (1855-1922). The strange title alludes to his oeuvre: ‘Zaum ‘ which is the transmental language which the futurist had created and which his opera is based. Toti’s language is explicitly onamatopoeic and remains in the original Italian version.
