for six voices and electronics 
by Fernando Manassero - 2024/25

In the year 2084 the Global Ai has completely replaced human labor, but the machines have also realised they don't have to work for us and everything collapsed leaving behind a race of workers pushed to perpetual holidays. And there they are, wandering through beaches under a scorching sun, getting drunk and fighting for food, until they realise there's no help coming to rescue them. That in reality the heroe is the human collective.
