Stefano Zazzera: FREAKS
To freak out is part of the artistic concept of the Italian SOUND DESIGNER, DJ, and VIDEO PERFORMER Stefano Zazzera.
Bizarre creatures with human faces but no arms and legs are creeping in the dirt with a sarcastic laughing on the video screen in a sphery electronic acoustic background. Dancers are dancing their souls out.
The self-called "space invader“ Zazzera knows for many years that his body is suffering from Parkinson but he is not stoppable at all.
