Description
Inspired by a compilation of articles that appeared under the title A Paso de Cangrejo, by the versatile intellectual and Italian novelist Umberto Eco, I imagined an entire sonorous and paradoxical world. Written before, during and after my stay at the Villa Médicis in Rome, each title evokes certain passages of Eco's work and at the same time each movement attempts to reveal an enigmatic temporal space. De lo Infinito takes its origin from the philosophical reflections that Umberto Eco makes on the state of the world at the beginning of this new millennium. The direction that humanity is taking paradoxically appears to be a retreating movement that we commonly call “the crab step.” The old territorial conflicts, the wars with the air of a "crusade", the expansion and acceptance of totalitarianism, racism and homophobia in multiple forms, confirm Eco's thesis some years after the first edition of his book. With this work I pay tribute to the writer and his work, three years after his death and I invite the listener to reflect on our role in the history of humanity.
