Bitter Water [Water Library] 🦩

"Water used to have no taste. That's what the Elders say, and that's the hardest thing to believe. In a future Sardinia where every surface water is alkaline and corrosive, a young woman leaves the underground vault at dawn, before the UV peaks. She is looking for something. She has rope, smoked glass, and not much else."Bitter Water is a dystopian tale of hope and magic amidst the desolate landscape of the Molentargius Lagoon, which is said to be inhabited by monstrous beings and, perhaps, by sublime creatures as well, which could be the same being.Enter the sonic experience of a post-apocalyptic Sardinia.Created, spoken, produced, edited and mixed by M. Cristina Marras for The Water Library, a storytelling project about water by Irish audio producers Zoë Comyns and Regan Hutchins.Flamingo LoreFlamingo Rising · An Audio RPG by Sardinian Imaginary Games Flamingo Lore is an ongoing body of work set in a dystopian Sardinia where the surface is salt, acid water, and UV, and humans live underground. The world is consistent across pieces, but each work is an independent entry point — a different voice, a different moment in the same collapsed future.Across the work, flamingos shift roles: they appear as myth and salvation, as creatures of impossible beauty the survivors risk their lives to find, and — in other corners of the universe — as rulers and torturers in an improbable RPG, wielding power over what remains of human life.I have always been fascinated by the apparent fragility but effective strength of flamingos, the only living creatures that can drink water close to boiling point, among other things.I live in Cagliari, surrounded by pink flamingos.
