about

"La Gioia Di Essere Incompresi" by Monica Miuccio was published by the psychology journal "Tecniche Conversazionali" © 2000 (Milano, Italy). The script has been the core of quite a few electro-acoustic and audio drama works by IRIDE PROJECT and this is the last station of a peregrination that started in 1999 and reached its pinnacle in June 2015 with the performance at Prague "Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space".
“In the consuming flow of time, from childhood to manhood, iconoclasm worms its way out of a man crushed by shame and guilt. Images observe him, they reveal his dark secrets. By purging all those accusing smiles he secures a momentary relief. As his resentment grows stronger, he retaliates against the most famous smile but he fails and by realising that people can’t comprehend his mind and never will, he learns that “misunderstanding” is freedom to treasure personal secrets”.
