lyrics

Aerea is built on one main street that consists of several alleys polluted with ads. In the epicentre of Aerea a gigantic playground is nestled which will keep growing over the years. The expanding construction, composed of small and large tubes, features various materials and textures: steel, grass, glass blocks, sand, stone, paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, polyethene, ... The richness of materials implies that you experience particular acoustic dimensions according to your position.

You easily orient yourself, because each tube has its specific colours and aromas;

- when you approach the orange-yellow tubes, you usually hear children playing with a ball,

- the green-yellow tubes often host rotating Merry-Go-Rounds,

- the red-purple tubes emit isolated voices that crave not to move. They look out to live within their territory and rage all day long with memories from their childhood,

- the blue-green tubes house telegram messages becoming indecipherable from day to day. It's a real pity because that' s how Aerea loses her memory bit by bit,

- the brown-yellowish tubes will be accessible when 5G arrives.

Then, you glide from the slide to the swing, fly to the seesaw and are catapulted to the monkey bar, to finally crash into the black & white tubes where you are rocked to sleep by a kind of Gregorian chants.

In the background of this community: motorbikes, cars, trams, bicycles ride on the sides of the main street silencing the horizon lines.
