"Una proposta di legge indecente," a one-act chamber opera, stages a simple contemplation: if, upon waking up tomorrow and reading the day's news, we were to discover that an absurd law had just been approved in Parliament, would we be capable of realizing it and opposing it? Would we still be able to feel indignation, amidst the myriad of news, advertisements, spam, emails, messages, and cooking shows that bombard us every day, leaving us bewildered and dazed? Would we be able to distinguish the humane from the inhumane in an increasingly technological and fast-paced world?
