A song, a stage and a message. The song “Something gone wrong”, the stage for the Lunezia prize, the message that there are weak points that can become precious weapons. Assia Fiorillo among the 10 finalists of the Lunezia prize which will take place on 31 August as part of the historic La Versiliana exhibition in Marina di Pietrasanta (LU). The Neapolitan artist often uses the stage outfit to send messages or support causes he believes in and, for the Lunezia final, Assia decided to perform wearing the clowns designed by Salvo, a 9-year-old boy who during the first lockdown began to draw clowns of various colors. Salvo has an autism spectrum disorder. The dossier of the neuropsychiatrist who follows him full of the characters he has been drawing since the age of two.
The clowns of the lockdown have become a brand for SonoSalvo t-shirts made by Coop the “The Force of Silence” and by the Everytink laboratory in Casal di Principe (CE) in a property confiscated from the Casalesi clan where children with disorder also work of the autism spectrum. This time the clowns chase each other and one of them sings “Ua-hoo”, the riff of the song’s refrain. a chant against suffering – explains Assia Fiorillo – in this case for the loss of a love. The sound has an almost cathartic function, as well as being a musical expedient, and this time it seemed to me suitable for the story of Salvo and his poetry that with clowns invites us to get out of the suffering of the lockdown safe.
Assia Fiorillo a Neapolitan singer-songwriter, protagonist of the documentary of Raitre Cane by Amalia De Simone. The documentary recounts the experiences of the artist who spent months in two women’s prisons. He has 5 albums to his credit, leader of the all-female band Mujeres Creating and out with a new disc of unreleased songs, some taken from the Cane soundtrack.
