Audio / video project *Ghigo* is the result of the elaboration of a mourning through music, writing, singing, visions. The ten tracks that compose it are proposed on stage accompanied by images created and animated in real time thanks to a mixture of manual and digital parallel techniques that underline and mark the fall and resolution of a sudden, inconceivable, incomprehensible and inhuman event. Fifty minutes that tell the phases and moods experienced over a span of seventy days in the ICU of a major hospital: a city within a city, in which rules, codes, customs, roles and hierarchies are determined by that same space, a transitional place where the only possible option for patients and visitors is waiting.
*Ghigo* is the sound of the first guttural syllables pronounced by infants, but it is at the same time a proper personal name, the Italian form of the Germanic word Wigo, which means "struggle", "battle". An unequal struggle, faced for seventy endless days, is at the center of this audio / video project, as well as the return to childhood, to the origin, to those first sounds that in a long time surfaced on the lips of each of us.

AUDIO
*Ghigo*'s music and lyrics have been written over a long period of time crossed by two important personal griefs. In this suspended time frame, during exhausting walks, long train journeys to reach the hospital or endless moments spent in the waiting room of the intensive care unit, music and writing have become an important therapeutic tool to rely on, using whatever was available: a common software, a complex synth console, a simple paper towel or a voice memo. The lyrics are mainly composed of the phrases spoken or words expressed through a communication board by the protagonist of this story during the seventy days of her hospitalization. Similarly, some of the sounds in the music of *Ghigo* come from objects that have been at the center of the scene, from the most common messages reception notice for smartphones, to the piercing metallic sounds of the ICU's patient monitoring machine. Other sounds simply aim to recreate the moods of trepidation, hope or discomfort experienced during this long period. The predominant musical element in these ten tracks is, with small variations, repetition, a reiteration of sound that nevertheless gives way to polyrhythmic elements, providing the opportunity for a
meditative moment or supporting the desire to surrender to a liberating dance.

VIDEO
* Ghigo *'s visuals are based on thoughtful improvisation, therefore it's free in its evolution but built on a tested visual and sound connection, creating focused transitions between live material, live animation, use of the vintage computer AMIGA 1200 or video processing directed with Ighina 01, a self-built prototype of Theremin video. Based on the hypnotic rhythm and the different musical atmospheres of the single tracks, the animation of the images of *Ghigo* is realized using three different techniques, featuring reworkings of printed text, photographs, abstract archive videos related to medical technologies, fantastic and dreamlike images, human beings figures and objects.
