Experiencing Interruptions?

Atlantide (Atlantis)

The planet is overheating, water is rising, the self is drowning.

Atlantide is a mirror of our daily relationship with mental health and ecology.

The song has a double story: on one hand a futuristic Venice submerged due to the rising of the sea caused by global warming, on the other it is an intimate and introspective journey into the relationship one can have with depression.

It's a song for those who struggle to stay afloat every day, for those who fight for air, those who don't want to fall down.

Atlantide is the first chapter of the short film "2019: Welcome to Planet Earth".

Director Statement

[eng] I am excited to share a project that serves as a visual exploration of the parallels between the rising sea levels in Venice (Italy) caused by global warming and the emotional depths of depression. By juxtaposing these seemingly disparate themes, the song and the video aim to evoke a visceral and thought-provoking experience for the audience, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between environmental crises and mental health issues.
“Atlantide” seeks to communicate the urgency of addressing both the tangible and intangible consequences of our actions on the environment and human well-being.

[ita] Sono felice di condividere un progetto che si presenta come un'esplorazione visiva del parallelismo tra l'innalzamento del livello del mare a Venezia (Italia) causato dal riscaldamento globale e le profondità emotive della depressione. Attraverso la giustapposizione di questi temi apparentemente disparati, la canzone e il suo video mirano a suscitare un'esperienza viscerale e stimolante per il pubblico, promuovendo una comprensione più profonda dell'interconnessione tra crisi ambientali e problemi di salute mentale.
"Atlantide" vuole di comunicare l'urgenza di affrontare le conseguenze tangibili e intangibili delle nostre azioni sull'ambiente e sulla salute mentale umano.
