Anfisa Letyago has announced her much-anticipated European tour, showcasing her innovative audiovisual project, Partenope. This groundbreaking live performance combines state-of-the-art technology with a captivating storyline, developed in collaboration with acclaimed AI artist Guisy Amoroso, known as Marigoldff. Alongside the tour announcement, Letyago presents the debut VA compilation from her label, Utopia, featuring 20 cutting-edge tracks that push the boundaries of contemporary sound. This compilation includes contributions from notable artists such as Answer Code Request, FILM, Bambounou, Francois X, and Not By Me.
Partenope is inspired by a Greek myth about a mermaid discovered off the coast of Naples. In this project, Letyago, transformed into this legendary figure through advanced 3D scanning techniques, immerses her audience in a mesmerizing underwater realm. Growing up near water and now residing along the Italian coastline, Letyago‘s deep-seated connection to the sea has significantly influenced this creative endeavor. The show premiered earlier this month at the Red Valley Festival in Sardinia, where it received a rapturous reception. Reflecting on the origins of the project, Anfisa stated, “The history of Naples has always resonated with me. The story of Partenope, a mermaid who symbolizes the city, inspired me profoundly and became the backbone of this audiovisual experience.”
The synergy between Guisy Amoroso and Anfisa Letyago felt like a natural evolution of Letyago’s artistic vision. Additionally, Amoroso‘s unique style, characterized by surreal landscapes populated by fantastical creatures, harmoniously blended with the underwater environment Letyago aimed to create. Discussing their collaboration, Marigoldff remarked, “The creative process flowed seamlessly between us, enabling Anfisa’s musical realm to integrate beautifully with my visual interpretation.”
