THE CONCEPT

As we’ve already told on “The Breathing Machines”, Pasolini was right, he had predicted everything since the advent of television:  nowadays conformism reigns above everything  and people are increasingly losing their identity, making technology a new GOD.

We must not fear technology, but rather the way mankind uses it.  Today we can know practically everything through the Internet,  but, despite this, many people still believe in fake news and they always look  for an alternative way of interpretation of the reality.

Meanwhile, wars and corruption are everywhere, but people seem too busy to notice while they talk about the artificial intelligence ready to steal their jobs and lives.

The real enemy of mankind is ignorance and only ignorance generates new GODS like the DIGITAL GOD.

The Digital God feeds itself with sleeping masses and it governs their behaviour like the puppeteer who pulls the puppets strings.

The sleeping masses, who are attached to the cables that power up the Digital God’s world, are at the same time energy and will to be governed. Gods have always been fuelled by ignorance after all… 

Nowadays the masses don’t want to find their own identity anymore and they prefer to be governed by the Digital God and live passively.

By making music, Stage of Reality wants to awake the masses and to make them understanding that there is an alternative to all of this, but we all need to break down the barriers of ignorance, we need to learn, to accept differences and to build an inclusive world where we can speak the universal language of music.
