Breeding choir in cadaverous substance. Thousands of coreuti join in a progression of nine movements.
Their singing is extinguished in the collapse of the theater which contains them until silence in a lead shroud.
Silli, Sponzilli and Tribbioli have been collaborating since 2004
under the collective noun Mastequoia.
