Audiovisual antimafia lounge, inspired by works and words of Leonardo Sciascia, sicilian writer and civil activist. Sicilian AV project means the legacy of literature performed and expressed with mixed mediums: music, visual arts and illustrations.

Have you ever heard of the mafia? You probably have, but it’s unlikely that you’ve heard it evoked in the rhythms of avant-garde, of electronic, of downtempo, mixed with unusual action-painting illustrations and highly suggestive real-life video clips.

Antonino Musco (last.fm user gagge)and his many collaborators at Sicilian AV Project, however, aren’t in it for the business: they aren’t selling catchy tunes or coloured bags and they don’t talk about football. Most of them are Sicilian, all young and almost all emigrated to a hypothetical North as in their hyper-real South someone had clipped their wings, but not their ideas.

The authors and the participants in this performative project study and elaborate different languages to tell a tragic story made up of thousands of drammatic, grotesque, mafia tales. The intention is clear right from the very first track “Todo Modo” (My Way) in which the sampled voice of Leonardo Sciascia, a writer who wrote and spoke about the mafia until his death, reminds us that: “The State for me is the Constitution and the Constituion is no longer alive.
