Piece Comment

Surprising, mysterious


We usually think of youth-produced features as news, commentaries, vox pops, or public affairs pieces, so Marzia's story is a refreshing change. I loved the juxtaposition of her reading with the sound effects and background music. Marzia's vocal delivery lends a formal tone to a story that seems lighthearted at some moments, dystopian at others. music. Unexpected turns of phrase like, "What is the place you want so much?" surprised me and kept me listening through to the end. But I couldn't shake the feeling that the underlying message of the piece was something very, very dark.
