Voicity, by the Russian composer Boris Filanovsky, is set between a musical opera and a theater performance. A set designing that at times takes back to a building yard in the midst of a war, at other times to an assembly shop that hosts a mass revolt. The opera lasts about one hour and a half in which voice to groups of different interpreters will be given (drivers, snipers, yard workers) who under the supervision of professional musicians will follow the written score of the composer. An orchestra in action with fixed and moving positions, at different rhythms and speeds will host in its nucleus, the audience. The very particular staff of Voicity, will involve military trucks, building machines, sirens, soldier troops and a group of winds of the Silandro band: the only human voice is Natalia Pschenitschnikowa’s, the soprano. The entire musical work implies an important social aspect: only thanks to the common work of everybody, sound will be made possible. The opera is inspired by a composition titled SYMPHONY OF THE HOOTERS, written in the early ‘20s by the futurist composer Arseny Avraamov.
