«First Score called ‘realizable’ and totally written in form of text.

Social game, which, from the sound and theatric elements, is intended to create a big riot in the course of which one hopes that the barriers of convention will be overturned. The purpose is to reach by this way the communication which, starting from a given place can go on in life. This place can be kind of theater or café-theater and the performers can be musicians or actors, professionals or amateurs. In this realizable like in certain text-scores it would be helpful in order to coordinate the action of the performers, to appeal to a director.»
