Based on Francis of Assisi’s allegories and hallucinations,
7AM: DI MATTINA is a performance & visual installation with
original arias in early Italian idioms juxtaposed with an
electro-acoustic soundscape, coupled with live video evoking
isolated figures in urban setting and contrasted with projected
art inspired by natural landscapes. 7AM: DI MATTINA consists
of a series of hallucinations experienced by young Francis of
Assisi that each take place early in the morning inside his
room. Francis, who has spent months recovering after
returning from war, has visions that he does not understand.
