Secret Florence 2025: Abo Abo presents PLASMA
Secret Florence, a consolidated festival of Estate Fiorentina, is presenting its tenth edition. The project, carried out by five internationally active institutions based in the City of Florence’s urban area, Fabbrica Europa, Lo Schermo dell’arte, Musicus Concentus, Tempo Reale and Centro Nazionale per la Danza Virgilio Sieni, is conceived for a series of scenic spaces that are mostly not previously used or not habitually used by the public, or for well-known spaces that are reinterpreted in surprising ways, where dance, music, art, and cinema performances adapt to the architectural and acoustic characteristics of different places each time. Therefore, the actions that make up the project also take part in the rediscovery of traditional spaces under a new light; they may establish different aesthetic perspectives within previously unused and current buildings or environments, or reveal forgotten and unknown cultural events and stories. All the artistic initiatives are part of a territorial unicum, and in certain cases are even an actual complete novelty in the international scenery of contemporary artistic research.

All events are free entry.
For the 10th edition of Secret Florence, Musicus Concentus once again opens the doors of the Cloister of the Convent of Carmine for a premiere event. On Tuesday 17 June at 7 p.m., Sound Artist Abo Abo (Daniele Carcassi, born in 1993) presents an experimental performance: PLASMA.
PLASMA develops a unique sound language inspired by acousmatic and electroacoustic traditions, with influences from ambient, sci-fi, organic and textural sounds, enriched by references to natural soundscapes.
Set in the Cloister of the Convent of Carmine, the performer places himself at the center of the space, inviting the audience to freely explore the area, creating an environment that blurs the boundaries between performance and sound installation. Thanks to a real-time controlled multichannel spatialization system, the sound envelops the spectators, offering an immersive experience. The arrangement of the speakers and the dynamic interaction with the audience encourage meditative reflection, as soundscapes shift and intertwine, dissolving the barriers between artist and audience.
Reservations for the performance open on June 13, h.9:30, at this link: https://www.boxol.it/musicusconcentus/it/event/abo-abo—plasma/570883
