Mimo (Italian for «Mime») deals with the concept of mimesis at various levels.

The scenes of the piece follow the presence/density of musical elements, considered as expressions of a musical face in constant development, as if they’d be the tiny eyes/wrinkles movements on a silent actor’s face, able to revolutionize the action through his expressivity.

The australian superb Lyrebird (mimus polyglottos) has the impressive ability to mimic many natural and artificial sounds from his environment. Fascinated by this idea of “sonic camouflage”, I tried to consider each element of the ensemble as a mime of other sounds (from other instruments and not only), through the preparation of the instruments with little home-made simil cork objects.
