ASOMALJIA

Manuel Valverde – ASOMALJIA (2025) for violin, electronics and video

Among ruins and forgotten geometries, a signal repeats. Somewhere in Eastern Europe, an elderly man speaks calmly of a distant planet. He says its name is Asomaljia: there are no wars there, and its inhabitants live in perfect harmony. Fragmented images of monuments that evoke a past both distant and utopian intertwine with intimate stories, memories, and sounds, dissolving the boundaries between science fiction, utopia, and memory.
