Can we reach what lies beyond the horizon of the human condition?

Can we break the shackles of language to refer to and communicate the essence of reality?

Is it possible to embrace the Absolute without losing our singularity in the process?

Is it sound a way to transcend these questions?

An Atlas suggests a mystical and symbolic journey, poetically exploring the limits of human nature, disembodiment and transcendence. Limit and liminality, treated under a variety of scopes, are the poetic and conceptual cores of this work. It offers a space of pure listening where to be immersed, explore within and beyond, trying to caress the ineffable.

It is consciously trying to propose a map an an impossible cartography.

What we will listen is the first half of the Atlas of the Infinite, a concert-long piece that will take place in 2026. This part introduces some of the ideas that constitute the foundation of the Atlas; the beginning of an aesthetic and artistic statement, trying to reconcile the modern audience with a kind of experience that seems to be slowly fading away.
