Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Luigi Pirandello, US premiere of a new live installation conceived and performed by visual artist Samantha Stella and musician Nero Kane. Italian poetry by Dante Alighieri, Giacomo Leopardi, Ugo Foscolo, Gabriele D’Annunzio, and Pirandello on the themes of love, decadence and tension towards the infinite, will be read by the two Italian artists. These poets connect Stella and Kane to the visual and audio landscape of the American desert. This event is part of a project that includes a film directed by Samantha Stella during a trip to California and a new album by Nero Kane recorded between Italy and Los Angeles.
