In the video, you can hear strange sounds and you can see subtitles that have nothing to do with the voice (apparently). Only a few syllables match. These letters are emphasized in the subtitles.
But, why?
In fact, it's a language that's been disguised. It's a poetic language covered by a mask.
It's a work about the desire for a better world, about the motivation to overcome obstacles, eliminate inequalities, overcome fears and embrace our community. Also, it's about things, facts that are covered by masks (policies, conventions, and formalities).
The piece of music is part of a larger work that I have composed and which is entitled Symphony of the Absurd.
The project is part of the subthemes Mental health narratives in poetry and Global unity and shared futures.
