Emily Hill

The Voice of the Moon is Fellini’s last film before his death in 1993. Based on a novel by Ermanno Cavazzoni titled Il poema dei lunatici/ The Lunatics’ Poem, the film follows an odd couple who has been recently discharged from a mental asylum. Ivo Salvini, played by Roberto Benigni, and Gonnella, played by Paolo Villaggio, wander through the Emilia-Romagna countryside of Fellini’s childhood. They discover a dystopia of television commercials, beauty pageants and rock music which Fellini believes are discontentment of modern civilisation.

The film takes off with Salvini’s infatuation with Aldina Ferruzzi, a blonde beauty whom he equates with the allure of the moon, the origin of his madness and frustration. Along the way, a chance encounter with Gonnella brings them on a magical odyssey through the countryside where they meet various madcap characters, with the film culminating to an extended beauty pageant.

The Voice of the Moon finds Fellini returning to his provincial hometown and its popular culture, where he records a poetic and pessimistic plea for a quieter world, where true communication might just be possible.

With a lack of platforms for regional bands to share the same stage, Tesselation: One will bridge the gap by bringing in regional acts and exposing more Singaporeans to the wide smorgasborg of regional artists that have been making an impact within their respective scenes. The show will also be a breeding ground for talents from all around our region, to come together to build a community within the Singapore Music Scene.
