Modern nocturnal melodrama by Andrea Zingoni.

The short film, a collaboration between the multimedia research group Giovanotti Mondani Meccanici and Loretta Mugnai, combines both film and electronic elements. It is an adaptation of the famous story by Kafka. Julia Anzillotti portrays Mrs. Samsa, known for her work with the Italian theater-dance group Parco Butterfly, while Rolando Mugnai of the Magazzini plays Mr. Samsa, having previously performed in computer comics by GMM. Teresa De Sio makes a friendly appearance as an ironic Grande Diva who communicates solely through soprano vocalizations, accompanied by comedian Daniele Trambusti as her interpreter. The true core of the story consists of the Samsa household televisions, which emphasize and amplify the narrative's emotions.
Tecnomaya in Infotown (New Dangers replace Fear) merges four years of research, which began in 1987 with techno videos for the Tenax discotheque in Florence, continued with the 1988 installation Run Go at the Murnik Gallery in Milan, and culminated with the 1989 Electronic Mandalas. The stratification of messages gives rise to Tecnomaya: the illusion multiplied by technology; hallucinatory emission and irradiation materialize into layered, infinite, indecipherable information, where false and real blend in epidemic immaterial irradiation.
Lucia is a little insect that comes out of her hiding place at night because only in the dark she is not afraid of other animals.
