Matto Zoppi & Tommaso Cappelletti
“This goes against our community standards.”
Reading & Performance
3:00 - 3:15 PM
Duration: approx. 15 minutes
No registration required
A performance for two voices within a system of control.
There are no fixed roles. The stage is empty. Two performers move through a choreography of microphones, cables, and stands. The desire to control – and the unspoken desire to be controlled – shapes how we navigate digital space, where platform guidelines quietly govern visibility, speech, and behaviour. Control is often equated with containment. To be controlled can mean safety, legibility, or disappearance. These dynamics are rarely mutual. They are imposed, internalised, enacted – often without consent. This piece examines the moment when such logic becomes embodied, when speech is caught in the circuitry of governance, and the question becomes: who gets to speak, and who disappears? Formally echoing Peter Handke’s Self-Accusation, the work reimagines its structure within the frameworks of digital regulation and content moderation. What unfolds is both a sound piece and a choreography of sabotage and submission. The lights never change. The curtain never falls. What kind of silence are we being trained to accept?
About the artists
Matto Zoppi is a sound artist and performer whose work merges sound, poetry, and extended voice techniques to evoke grotesque and liminal narrative tensions. He explores language as a tool for interpreting and transforming reality, working across live electronics, performance art, and radio to investigate the unstable spaces between sound and speech, memory and transformation, control and desire. With a background in theater, radio, and studies in art management and digital communication, he develops multidisciplinary projects that shift between stages, frequencies, and formats. His work has been presented in venues and festivals across Europe.
Tomato Cappelletti is a product designer and researcher exploring pop culture, interface design, and the symbolic architectures of the internet. His practice examines the ways digital tools and cultural narratives shape one another, often blending UX/UI, art direction, and speculative design. Creating playful, hybrid experiences, he investigates the metaphors and habits that influence our relationship with technology, using design as a way to reflect on the shapeshift of online life. He is the co-founder of Clusterduck, a research collective mapping internet culture, and has presented his work at international conferences and festivals.
