Composer and sound artist Alessandro Bosetti invites the audience to a series of sound mnemonics practices in a hypothetical "palace of sound memory", a physical and imaginary space containing sound memories linked to life stories.

Noises, sighs, melodies and words. Stories attached, like skin, to certain sounds that resurface from a desired, rewritten, celebrated past. A place that is perhaps only mental, where we rediscover certain memories through meditations, exercises and experiences for which we must close our eyes. What does an unforgettable noise sound like?

Sound writing emerges from a convocation of sounds and strives to reconstruct them, transform them, remodel them and recompose them in the mind and heart. For both the listener and the author, it is about searching for the emotions that, among sounds, allow us to remember some and forget others, moving lightly in the territory between oblivion and auditory hallucination.

La memoria risiede nel lobo dell’orecchio (Memory resides in the earlobe) is a sound performance produced as part of the Short Theatre festival and the European project Radio That Matters in collaboration with a community of blind and visually impaired people attending the A.S.P. Sant'Alessio Margherita di Savoia in Rome.
