I conceived In Other Words
as a musical show inspired by the infinite possibilities offered by the multiplicity and variety of languages that flow through the veins of our planet, languages that ultimately belong to a single beating heart that nourishes all life. I was moved by the phonetic beauty of different words and the sonic power they carry when spoken or sung with joy, generating happiness.
I realized that when these languages intertwine, like reflections in a game of mirrors, they reveal a deeper truth: that the language we use unites us, never divides us. Though words may sound different, they all tell the same story.
In this version, the show narrates a journey between two cultures, American and Italian, that appear distant yet are deeply connected, resonating within the same heart.
The heart of the world.

In Other Words The Project
In Other Words for Transcendent Communication
Language, at its core, is an evolving vessel—a bridge between minds, a breath between worlds. Yet, within its structured signs and regulated sounds lies a paradox: while it connects, it also confines. *In Other Words* is an exploration of the unseen and unheard—a deliberate rejection of linguistic orthodoxy in favor of fluid expression, where meaning is formed not solely through words but through the interplay of sensations, gestures, rhythm, and silence.
This project embraces the notion that language need not be fixed, nor must it rely on conventionally understood words. It envisions a communicative space where languages intertwine, fuse, and transform, allowing for an expressive form that transcends cultural and grammatical barriers. Through movement, tone, texture, and abstraction, it seeks to construct a new, universal language—one that does not impose but emerges naturally through interaction, intuition, and shared resonance.
At its heart, In Other Words is a liberation—a challenge to the rigid frameworks that dictate expression. It dismantles predetermined structures, unveiling an intuitive, poetic, and deeply human form of communication that is felt rather than spoken. In this pursuit, the work seeks not merely to create alternatives but to dissolve boundaries, guiding us toward a singular, unifying expression—a language that belongs to all, shaped not by convention but by the essence of human experience itself.
It is a broader critique of linguistic limitations while highlighting its radical potential. The framing of the paradox—language as both a bridge and a cage—perfectly encapsulates the tension at the heart of In Other Words.
The questions you pose are especially thought-provoking. The challenge of ambiguity in a system that relies on intuition and sensation is particularly interesting. Would shared resonance be instinctive, or would it require some guiding framework that still holds traces of convention? And if new structures inevitably form, how does the manifesto prevent them from becoming rigid over time?
In Other Words isn’t just about communication—it’s about transformation. A shift toward fluid, embodied interaction, where language is no longer a system but a living, breathing experience. If communication is to transcend sign and sound, then perhaps it must become something closer to presence itself—an immersion in meaning rather than a construction of it.
